<p>lax, haven’t yet heard from gtown. they let people know anytime between now and june 1. im almost positive im goin to la either way, since as i see it it’s pretty much heaven on earth haha, and i cant imagine passin that up (yeeeeaaah bruins!!) i guess i just figure since i already submitted the housing app, it wont hurt if i wait to hear before sending in my sir. it’s kiiiillin me though, lol.</p>
<p>woooooord, had a friend who goes to gtown so I was j/w :)</p>
<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I’m very very terrified at this point and was wondering if some of you have had experience or heard stories regarding the provisional admission contract.</p>
<p>I got accepted into UCLA and UCBerkeley as an English major and had to drop one of 7 courses I was taking at a college this spring due to severe circumstances. I already reported the fact that I dropped the class to both UCLA and UCBerkeley.</p>
<p>Keep in mind:</p>
<p>I have 60 transf. units WITH that class dropped.</p>
<p>The class dropped was a lab course required for the IGETC.</p>
<p>I just asked the UC schools to let me take a lab course over the summer… but the contract clearly sais if I drop anything (let alone not complete the IGETC by the end of spring) my acceptance can be withdrawn.</p>
<p>So here I am, stressing and biting my nails waiting to hear back from the schools. Has anyone ever gone through this? If so what was the result of that?</p>
<p>Thank you, guys!</p>
<p>HeavyMetalGod,</p>
<p>You are not worried about being stuck with a bunch of freshman with your Res Hall choices?</p>
<p>today i was at the LA reception, and the person that spoke about housing was a transfer student himself and said that its very common for transfers to be with freshmans, a lot of transfers wont get into their first choice. Also, he mentioned that when he transfered to berk a few years ago, he was also stuck with freshmans and said that its not that big of a deal.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Just wanted to update on those who are wondering about the provisional admission contract. I just received this e-mail from UCLA after 3 days of waiting:</p>
<p>"Dear *******,</p>
<p>You recently submitted a Provisional Problem Form notifying us of changes in your coursework. Based on your self-reported information, your eligibility will not be affected by these changes. However, your admission will not be final until official records have been received.</p>
<p>Thank you, "</p>
<p>If you want to know the exact situation I was in go back to pg 611 and scroll to the bottom for the info. I hope this helped to people who might be having similar problems in the future!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol page number won’t help much since people may have different settings for posts per page. Mine only goes up to Page 230 
It might be more helpful if you say the Post # instead.</p>
<p>Just for the future reference :)</p>
<p>Hehe, there goes my savvy computer knowledge ^_^</p>
<p>Okay let me rephrase: go to post #9165 for the 411 on my situation.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if W’s look bad for grad school?</p>
<p>Say, if I have one or two W’s.</p>
<p>It’s better than a D or F.</p>
<p>Right now I don’t have any W’s but I am thinking of dropping my bio class. Eventhough I am getting a B there right now. I know it sounds ridiculous. But because of that class, it is dropping my grades for the other classes like econ and spanish. Which are required for my major pre-reqs, and if I don’t pass my econ class, I know I will be rescinded.</p>
<p>This bio class is a majors bio class, so it is pretty damn time consuming. 13 hours IN CLASS alone. All I study is for bio and now I am playing catch up in so many of my other classes. And there is only 5 weeks left!!</p>
<p>Do you guys think it is a good idea to drop my biology class? (Not required at all for IGETC or pre-req) It is actually for pre-health. At the moment, my main priority is to pass my econ class!</p>
<p>Rogue…that is great news! Have you heard anything back from Cal yet?</p>
<p>Hi luvtoolearn,</p>
<p>unfortunately, I have not. But the admin officer I was assigned to e-mailed me yesterday saying she forwarded the e-mail I sent (with Cal you have to e-mail your officer, unlike UCLA where you submit a special change request form) to the appropriate parties and that at the latest they would be getting back to me “tomorrow” which is today. So I’m just sitting here nuking my refresh button on my e-mail :)</p>
<p>Don’t worry, I’ll let you know their reply. I know this is useful/helpful stuff, but for those whose admission gets withdrawn – DON’T GIVE UP.</p>
<p>I had a phone call with one of my good friends yesterday, whose admission was withdrawn last year after she dropped a pre-req course. What she did is the following:</p>
<p>She wrote her own letter describing the reason for why she dropped the course</p>
<p>AND</p>
<p>She got a teacher or two to write a recommendation letter(s) for her and sent it all to the admin office.</p>
<p>They ended up letting her make up the course over the summer and letting her attend UCLA that fall.</p>
<p>So even if you do get rejected, don’t give in just yet!</p>
<p>That is absolutely true…I went to a Phi Theta Kappa meeting the other day. One of the directors who also gives allot of money to CCC for scholarships told me that his office was able to turn 7 Berkeley rejection letters into acceptance. 7!!! I thought that was unheard of. He told me that even though everyone says it’s next to impossible, ALWAYS appeal rejection notices. You have to get past the desk people and your letter into the right hands. It sounds like your friend did that. Good luck</p>
<p>wow tool thats crrazy</p>
<p>Does anybody know if it was a bad idea to take a GE class for credit/no credit? My CC counselor told me that I could take bio as a credit/no credit at the beginning of this semester since it is not a pre-req class for my major. Now this new counselor said that was bad advise and you should never take an IGETC class as credit/no credit. Now I’m debating on calling Cal and asking if I need to have it changed back to a letter grade.</p>
<p>Hey guys! Anyone plans to go to Cal’s reception this Saturday? Do we need to bring our letter of acceptance? Is this reception only for transfer students? I read My Events in my Cal’s account, but they don’t provide much info. about this reception. Just a welcome day.</p>
