Cal question concerning W's

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey, I dropped a course at the very beginning of the semester that I originally told Berkeley I was taking. I never told them that I dropped it. Just now, after being accepted, I just sent out a letter explaining my situation (I dropped the course for a legitimate reason). The course was NOT a pre-req or anything related to my major. Will my admissions decision be revoked? Thanks.</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>good luck!!</p>

3

<p>Situation looks pretty bad for ya…
well the best thing you can do is to notify your admissions officer asap about your situation… and try to make up some believable BS.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How about that?</p>

<p>You have a good start, and a good finish, just tweak the middle. </p>

<p>I would say to omit words like ‘regrettably’ or ‘forgot’… say something other than you just plumb forgot. If possible, just word that part differently. Say something like you did not realize.</p>

<p>when you say “this course is unrelated to my major…” say Fortunately, this course is… so use positive language. </p>

<p>Otherwise, I’d say you’re going to be okay, and they’re not going to revoke your decision just because of a random class.</p>

<p>laneb, i read my term of conditions or whatever.</p>

<p>and i remember it said that if you dont complete 60 units = doom</p>

<p>However, if you complete the 60 units = safe, but you cant drop from a course that will fulfill the IGETC or L&S requirement. Also, if you drop a major course, then you can take it during the summer.</p>

<p>However, you cant take a course during the summer to fulfill 60 units.</p>

<p>with that in mind, i think you can count AP scores (i am not sure, best thing to do is call)</p>

<p>I believe i will have 55 units after dropping this course, but I have 6 APs that I should receive credit for. So I think I’m alright.</p>

8

<p>ap scores should count… call and then post the information here! cuz im interested in knowing lol or PM me when u get it!</p>

<p>lol chill, i dropped a course and replaced with another because my computer could not run the software required for the first course.</p>

<p>I doubt they care, it’s not like you are tricking them or something</p>
