UCLA Psychology Transfer Question

Hey everyone, I’m applying to UCLA in the Fall and I had a question I’m getting VERY worried about. I’m a Transfer student from West Valley College, I’m almost entirely done with my IGETC and Prep courses BUT I’ve had to retake some of the prep courses (Exp. Psych, Physio, and Stats)… problem is, I’ve had to also retake Stats twice, I messed up and took it once online and got in a bad personal situation + some computer issues and ended up failing it, took it again a year later and had more personal problems and health problems and got a D… so this Fall I’m retaking it a 3rd time and intending to pass, along with cleaning up my GPA a little. I read on the site that transfer students have to transfer as “Pre-Psych” and my situation kinda screws me… so essentially my question is am I definitely screwed or can I actually transfer under full Psychology status and you know, bypass the issues with Pre-Psych? What are my options? I’ve also sent an email to admissions and my grades this semester are far better (5 classes 5 As, including fixing the D in Psych 002/Exp Psych) this time around. I’m just a little panicked because I’ve heard UCLA has such a great Psychology dept, I don’t want to have to goto a school that doesn’t have a good one.
