<p>how does UCLA evaluate out of staters? i hear they automatically toss your application if your transcript has a C on it.</p>
<p>UCLA evaluates out-of-staters in the same manner as in-staters, but the bar is raised overall for out-of-staters. You still apply with the same online PATHWAYS form and submit the same scores/transcript information as in-staters. No, they won’t toss your application if you have a C… In fact, I think had a C+ in Grade 9 English and they didn’t seem to mind. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>i had a C in ap stats. they accepted me. don’t stress out about it, but i must say there seems to be a bit of luck involved. i got in with much lower stats than other people i know (i’m from chicago). it just depends on if they see something extra in you. goodluck!</p>
<p>doubtful, because in my state, you can get a c and it won’t show up on your trascript - the only thing that factors into our GPA/appears on transcript is the ‘final’ grade (i.e. ACAAAA = A). so, that wouldn’t be fair if somebody from another state got tossed out because of a c one quarter!</p>
<p>in any case, most schools don’t operate like that. they take into account a lot more factors than one grade in one class. that said, ucla is a really tough school to get into out of state…so good luck…</p>
<p>Admissions will recalculate your GPA based on the CA equation. It also depends on which program you want to enter.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>i had 3 C’s on my transcript. one was from freshman year though, and the UC’s don’t count freshman grades. apparently the other 2 C’s (both from junior year, same teacher) didn’t hinder my admission into ucla.</p>
