<p>I went to UCSB for Computer Science for a few years. Over the last couple, I’ve had serious health problems, which really messed up my performance in classes. I ended up taking several breaks from UCSB, interspersed with community college semesters as a requirement to get back into UCSB. I had more complications early this year and had to leave UCSB again. I decided I needed a change, so I moved back in with my parents to take care of myself. Now UCLA is the only nearby university with a decent Computer Science program.</p>

<p>Despite my grade problems recently, I’m hoping I can get into UCLA through admission by exception because of my difficulties. Any idea how hard it will be to convince them to consider me? Also, because of impending insurance problems, I need to get my degree finished ASAP, so getting in before the Fall quarter is very appealing to me - is there any possibility of that at all?</p>

<p>You’re really going to want to talk to a rep from UCLA. That is a very specific situation that they will have answers for. Maybe you’ll find someone on here who got an admission by exception, but I doubt it.</p>

<p>Yeah, I sent an e-mail to their admissions office yesterday asking for information on admission by exception and guidance for who to contact next. I haven’t received a reply yet, but I’m waiting.</p>
