All depends on regents! I am going for Mathematics/Pre Math, so either is fine with me. The question cokes down to whether I want good food or an air conditioned room.
UCLA did not allow us to select an alternative major…
I did not see the UC application this year but in previous years they allowed an alternate major to be listed but not considered so there was not option this year? Thank you for the information.

just wondering. if I were to be admitted on Thursday and end up with 1 C in AP Stats, could my offer be rescinded? I also had two planned courses that I was unable to register for (due to size constraints) at my local junior college and am no longer taking 1 AP exam that I put as planned (AP Art History) could all of this get any potential offers revoked? I am freaking out. I would have all As other than the 1 C if my grade drops again
The C will not be a problem, nor will the AP test. Not taking classes you indicated you would take is potentially more problematic, but if they were just electives, you may be OK. You do need to contact admissions right away about schedule changes, however.
Ok! I was just anxious the combo of the three would be bad. I plan to call admissions the office and ask just in case, but yes they were both electives. My college counselor said if it was marked as planned they shouldn’t care because I had all my A-Gs completed without these two. Thanks so much!
When you get your offer of admission it will lay out the conditions (all offers of admission are conditional). In terms of grades, I think the condition is something like no grades below a C- and no more than two Cs. It also says you need to submit your AP scores, but in the past they have never cared if you opted out of taking any AP exams. You may just need to write a note explaining that.
Ok amazing! Really appreciate it!
one question! does the offer of admission come with financial aid info, or does that come later?
Delete, i responded to wrong thread.

awesome, thank you!
I apologize, i thought i was on the Northwestern thread. I don’t know about UCB FA
You should have a FA package at time of decision or within a few days.

Hi OR1,
Just curious about OOS applicants. Do the UCs, other than LA/B provide the ROI, given the tuition. I am assuming that it’ll be closer to some other private colleges which are probably similarly ranked. Thoughts?
ohh all good!
thank you!
From our perspective/approach which is laser-focused on my daughter’s dream pathway, that requires a PhD, i question how big of a house-mortgage/down payment savings she should forgo as an undergrad OOS applicant to the UCs.
She has equal or much better schools for her field in midwest Big 10s for considerably less OOS COA, and more merit $s.
I want her to choose on”fit”, but if it were 100% up to me, only UCLA and UCB would provide the reputational value to merit the OOS COA, in her set of options.
We haven’t made any decisions yet, but I doubt she will make the cut for LA or Berkeley, so the UCs are not likely going to make our cut.
I think the UCs are all great options for in-state applicants. And, having lived & worked in the Bay area for most of my career, I really wish I could have gotten some credit for the enormous amount of taxes my wife and I have paid in California. Alas…

I agree.. I have S22 at USC and if S25 joins him then no ROI on CA taxes.. all the best to your kid👍
Thanks, you too!

Other than a few rare scenarios, if PHD is the goal and there are good instate options OOS would not make sense. Even 25k of extra costs at this stage of life has massive compounded lifetime value and I would be very wary about incurring that extra cost.
