Well... I'll spare you the details, but to make things short, I missed a calculus test... I'm looking at getting a C in the class (A B if I'm lucky). I've been accepted to UCLA as a buisness-econ major. My contract doesn't say anything about grades except "maintain your gpa". How will this C in a PRE-REQUESITE course affect my acceptance?

Will this C haunt me in the future at UCLA or will it disappear once I transfer?

Getting A's in the rest of my classes Major GPA = 4.0 ... after this... (phhhhhheeeeewwwww........... BOOOOOM!)

I'd like to know the in-dept story of how you got your C .

(I'm probably getting 2 myself).

I am currently getting 2 A's and a Pass, but I am getting a C in my stats class. What's worse is that the final is worth 20% of our grade and I totally think I bombed it. Now I am stressing about getting a D and getting my admission rescinded. See, doesn't that make your B/C sound better? lol The only thing worse than getting rejected from UCLA is being accepted and then kicked out.

I tried to shoot for 3 Cs this quarter but it turns out that may be impossible. I think I'm going to get an A and 2 Bs.

The C is not going anywhere, nothing disappears.

Your GPA starts at 0 at ucla, and your UCLA gpa will only include the courses you took AT UCLA (or another uc if you do summers or something at another UC)

When youapply to grad schools though- your undergrad GPA will include ALLLLLLLLLL undergraduate work you have ever undertaken, including any community college work, and any other grades you may have in those non-transferbale UC courses... every single grade will count come grad school time

I'm so glad I'm taking my math class as P/NP this quarter

Malishka is basically right, though I would add that if you're considering grad school they may or may not be concerned with you cumulative undergrad GPA. If you're going to a professional school then the C will be a factor, but probably only in-so-far as it affects your GPA. Academic grad schools will put MUCH more weight on your upper division in-major work, or possibly not even consider your lower-division work.

To wit, it's no big deal.
