<p>coolcat1 - If you strategize like me, then you should wait until you are accepted, then tell them. That way, if it affects their decision, you will hopefully find out before June 1.</p>
<p>You guys!!! If you even THINK you’re going to get a D or an F, if you even think you may drop a class that you need and said you were gonna take, you have to notify them ahead of time, even before the official grade comes out!! It will save you a lot of heartbreak later! </p>
<p>One of my friends actually called UCSB, and she said she would be okay getting 1 D, and it was because she notified them ahead of time. It’s not that one D is okay (I’m not sure, because I know of many cases at different UCs ), but you’ll have to call to know.</p>
<p>rnjscndrl - Look at the conditions on the schools that already accepted you. It should say that it is conditional, and that if you get below a C or your GPA drops below a 2.0 then you can or will (I am not sure which) will have your decision changed to a rejection.</p>
<p>Not reporting changes in course is a base for rejection.
When you signed the TAP and when counselor signed that TAP form
it clearly states any misrepresentation will lead you to rejection.
I am sure they will cross check when you get to UCLA between your TAP
and your transcript. Be honest and you will sleep at night.</p>
<p>I needed a certain number of honors units to get TAP certified. I think that number was set by my school, not by UCLA. Therefore, I do not think that one less honors course would affect UCLA’s decision, as long as I complete the course for non honors credit. Either way, I will inform them after I get accepted, and before June 1.</p>
<p>And besides, if you let them know ahead of time, and you get rejected, you have the amount of time necessary to appeal.</p>
<p>yep…right now im waiting for uci to message me back…because i NEED to drop art history (not a major course), and i have to add another course to keep my full-time status.</p>
<p>does anyone know how long uci takes to message you back on the message center more or less?</p>
<p>they have about 2-4 day turnaround… they’re good about getting back to you.</p>
<p>btw…i submitted my SIR to UCI!!!</p>
<p>go azn buttsecksing!!</p>
<p>So, does anyone see a flaw in the plan to contact them in mid May and say “Hey, I am still taking this particular class, it is just that as of this moment I am no longer taking it for honors credit, what is the consequence?”</p>
<p>I am choosing to contact them in mid May rather than now.</p>
<p>if you drop the ball in Mid-May, that’s not enough time for them to audit your application <em>yes, the process is called auditing</em> before June 1st.</p>
<p>But isn’t it enough time for them to say “Don’t worry, that’s not a big deal. Your status has not changed.”</p>
<p>I think its a good Idea. Specially when you are just changing your course status from honors to a regualr class. BTW I called UC Berkeley and they asked me to send a fax or a normal mail notifying my change in schedule (dropping a calss). However, when i asked the counselor if this will jeprodize my chance of getting in, he said that they have to look at the application and then decide. I don’t now what this means. Can i still drop the class or not???</p>
<p>sidekick… does ‘honors’ show up on transcript?</p>
<p>i’m telling you, it’s not enough time. Why the heck are you going to take the chance? You guys just think that what you’re doing is a good idea, and egging on others who are thinking of doing the same so that you are not alone in your failure.</p>
<p>“Honors” shows up next to the class on the transcript.</p>
<p>There are clear procedures according to UCLA’s own website if you recieve a d/f or drop a class AFTER you are accepted to UCLA. </p>
<p>Bottom line you have to report it at some point. According to their own website they will re-review your application and give you a new decision in 15 days to determine if it effects your admitance. </p>
<p>If the class has nothing to do with your major or a pre-req, I wouldn’t worry. </p>
<p>TAP is something totally different and you should talk with your honors cordinator to determine what you should do. </p>
<p>Here is the UCLA website that pertains to the information I talk about:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/NewBruins/Changes_Transfer.htm[/url]”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/NewBruins/Changes_Transfer.htm</a></p>
<p>“If the class has nothing to do with your major or a pre-req, I wouldn’t worry.”</p>
<p>Thats what Im thinking. Although Im still trying my hardest to finish the class with a C, I feel like I would still have admission to at least one of the schools that accepted me lol.</p>
<p>and here i was thinking that i had to maintain 4.0 with 24 units…</p>
<p>How do we notify them if we did drop a course since applying? Thanks.</p>
