<p>Long story short, I was accepted to UCR and had the provisions of B’s in the four classes I was taking this semester. I got a %78.8 in my differential equations class which landed me a C. I already called my academic advisor and she said it’s a fifty-fifty percent chance I will have my admissions taken away. Does anyone have any advice or clue on what will happen? This wasn’t exactly the best semester for me as far as personal issues go, but I didn’t suffer from any family deaths. I’m a transfer student, computer science, transferring from a california community college.</p>
<p>@ianschweer - I would say the odds are on your side. They already accepted you, and unless they had a much higher yield from their pool of accepted transfer applicants than they expected, most schools are reluctant to withdraw an acceptance and leave you hanging. Did they say when they would decide by?</p>
<p>@fallenchemist thanks that makes me feel alot better. Well I was told to call them back once I get all my final grades and then they’ll take it to the board and so on.</p>
<p>Be prepared for the worst and start talking to other campuses- even ones you decided not to enroll in can (and sometimes do) readmit you.</p>
<p>If you want to figure out how it might end up this year- and hopefully get some peace of mind:</p>
<p>Find the yield rate for UCR over the past 4-5 years. I think it should be going down (since more applications = UC Riverside starts getting ranked lower on applicants’ lists, creating a sort of yield gap in which the high-ranked colleges have greater yield each year and the lower-ranked colleges have lower yield) and, if so, that might save you. I bet there’s people who’ve been in your situation in the past- you could ask around and see how they’ve ended up. There’s definitely a lot more UCR communities out there.</p>
<p>Beyond that, just be ready to explain yourself (and make sure you don’t sound like you’re giving excuses) in case they ask you to speak. And, if you haven’t done so already, talk to your HS counselor because they might contact him/her. Good luck! You seem to care enough to be able to get out of this mess.</p>
<p>@ianschweer - I will hope for the best for you. Let us know what happens, if you think of it.</p>
<p>@dividerofzero do you think that the worst will happen? From every thing I’ve read about the subject, colleges don’t really like to take admissions back if it was only one class. Thank you though!</p>
<p>@ianschweer I’m not well-acquainted enough with UC Riverside to know their policy, but most schools don’t rescind more than a very small portion of their admitted class every year (and even that under exceptional circumstances). It’s just a bit more than 1 point off, and unless their yield was ridiculous this year, they wouldn’t rescind you for it.</p>
