University of California Transfer Students Fall 2007 OFFICIAL THREAD!!!

<p>How is that even possible, UCLA’s transfer admission decision site isn’t even open yet.</p>

<p>Per UCLA website as of March 15th</p>

<p>“UCLA UARS will release its transfer admission decisions for fall 2007–online and via traditional mail–at the end of the fourth week of April 2007” </p>

<p>“There’s really no way we could release the decisions earlier than the dates I listed–believe me, I would know. I’m coordinating all of the printed material for our notification via traditional mail, and nary a letter, packet, postcard, or scrap of paper has been dropped in the mail with any UCLA admission or deny decision on it.” </p>

<p>heres a general question:</p>

<p>If you fail a course, not related to your major, during the spring semester prior to transferring, will you automatically have your admissions revoked? What if you get a “D” and not a “F.”</p>

<p>Just Curious :D</p>

<p>I’d say it’s very possible…</p>

<p>Did anyone besides diamond get the call regarding Cal day?</p>

<p>thanks for the info, luvtoolearn!</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I’m going to go.</p>

<p>wow, i read some previous thread concerning rejection at ucr. i guess my chances to sb is absolute zero cuz i only completed half of the major requirements. for berkeley, i’m not sure cuz they’re trying to be funny by not posting major requirements for art history on assist.org. for ucla, i’m a little more optimistic because i completed req. for the alt. maj. and am tap certified.</p>

<p>the guy who said he majore din history, what aera and region is ur specialty??</p>

<p>"If you fail a course, not related to your major, during the spring semester prior to transferring, will you automatically have your admissions revoked? What if you get a “D” and not a “F.”</p>

<p>In response to your question, it will obviously vary from school to school. I only applied to UCSD and I had a 3.4 GPA last semester, despite receiving an F for POLI 103. I had a reason though, which I stated on the application update in January.</p>

<p>I talked to an admissions person from UCSD and she said that as long as your GPA is still in good standing and that you have a good reason, you have nothing to worry about. However, you’re talking about a major-related course, which is a totally different story. Did you state anything on your application update, or just leave it blank? If you did the latter, you should sort of be worried.</p>

<p>As far as UCLA, when you are admitted you have to tell them rather you 1) dropped a course 2) recieved a D or an F</p>

<p>They will then get back to you within 15 days to determine rather it will effect your decision information. </p>

<p>Oh no I havent failed a course or anything. Im a poli sci major, and I took a Computer Programming Intro to Java course to see how I’d like it, in case I wanted to change my major. Well, its an online course, and the lessons/assignments are very poorly written, so its hard for me to understand what to do half of the time. Im on pace to finish the class with a C right now, but theres a slim chance(God forbid) that I might get something worse…</p>

<p>lord of fart did you call this number?

</p>

<p>babbak,
I’m in the same boat as you except you are better off because mine is a major req, I’m struggling in stats…all my other classes are A’s except that class. I missed classes because of a death in the family followed by a burglery, followed by a move, followed by an injury so if I get lower than a C I pray that they understand and let me make up the class. I called CAL just in case and they said that there are extenuating circumstances sometimes where they make exceptions but I don’t know how severe it has to be.</p>

<p>^i’m taking stats this semester too and it’s the only class i’m worried about. i haaaate statistics =[
at least we didn’t take it last semester and have a C (or lower) ruin our admittance gpa!</p>

<p>well, I’m not sure about what happens when you get a D or F as a transfer, but as a freshman, I know someone that got their admissions rescinded from UCI because of a D in phyics, and they had a good reason too.</p>

<p>so stupid how ONE class can make such a big difference</p>

<p>I wonder why everyone (the admin at my school at least) is so gung-ho over online classes. They suck! They are NOT the wave of the future, despite all the advertising. Maybe they suffice for humanities and such, but never, never take a math or a hard science online. The turnaround time of the format is conterproductive to learning. The best time to get a question answered is when the student has the question, not 24 hours later! And Bob forbid if the student needs to have a concept explained in a different way. If the online instructor can’t cut and paste it, it isn’t happening.</p>

<p>why don’t you take the pass/not pass option?</p>

<p>most colleges say that a credit/no credit option must be presented to the records office 4 weeks after the first day of school.</p>

<p>yeah its too late for the credit/no credit option.</p>

<p>and i agree with the online classes being a bad option. ive taken three other ones in the humanities and social sciences, and have done well with no problems. probably should have thought about that before i signed up for this.</p>
