<p>HEARD BACK!!! I’M GOOOD!!! JUST SIR’D!! i dropped a Major Prereq, btw. im so happy</p>
<p>@ericxxd What was your major?</p>
<p>Biochemistry </p>
<p>@ericxxd What major prereq did you drop and what time did admissions contact you to give your their response to your changes?</p>
<p>@babybergur i dropped calc 3, and they sent around 3 pm </p>
<p>@ericxxd Does UCLA require you to retake calc 3 in summer? or they let you take it at UCLA after you transfer?</p>
<p>OMG thank god I found this forum. So I need help</p>
<p>I was admitted as an anthropology major to UCLA. I am currently taking 15 units, Biology 6, Calculus 2, and Physics 37(calculus based physics). Unfortunatley I decided to drop Physics 37 and I reported it to UCLA about 2 days ago. Here is the thing. For my major 1 year of calculus based physics is a requirement, but my physics 37 transfers to UCLA physics 1A, and my major requires physics 6A. So by me dropping physics 37 do you think they will rescind my admission.</p>
<p>Doubt it. If you look through this entire thread, you’d see hundreds of kids who have dropped non major prereqs to major prereqs and have their decision remain intact. </p>
<p>I, myself, dropped numerous courses 2 times, which probably pissed off a lot of admission counselors, but my decision didn’t get revoked/rescinded.</p>
<p>You’d have to do something drastic such as dipping below 60 units, getting multiple F’s and D’s, lying on your UC application, bribing an admissions officer, soliciting sexual favors from a UC chancellor, etc to have your decision revoked.</p>
<p>TLDR: You shouldn’t be worrying one bit. </p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>Are you still majoring in philosophy by any chance?</p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>Most likely. I doubt they’ll allow me to change my major, especially to Egyptology, which has been a suspended major for years…</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>Alright. Prepare yourself for UCLA philosophy…it’s probably not too different in difficulty than Berkeley’s phil program.</p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>I’m reluctant to major in Philosophy after reading about how difficult the program is. Also, I didn’t do well in my logic class at my CC, so if that’s an indicator of my philosophy skills, I should try to switch into another major I’m interested in. </p>
<p>My first choice would be Egyptology, and second would be…Anthropology</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>Ah, UCLA is said to demand that its students be good at logic to do well in philosophy classes, even the non-logic classes…</p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>Exactly. I still don’t know why they accepted me when I got a B in Logic (Not a major prereq for UCLA for some reason), and missing 2/3 prereqs.</p>
<p>I didn’t have a sob story to write about, nor did I do anything extraordinary such as invent a time machine. All I had a high GPA (3.8) and an upward trend in my transcript (I started out with multiple F’s and 1 D and later got A’s and B’s).</p>
<p>I’m also Asian, so that’s was another surprise for me when i got into UCLA. UC’s claim that affirmative action is banned, but everyone knows it isn’t. UC’s pick and choose whoever they want and use their holistic admission process as a scapegoat.</p>
<p>Anyways, I’m definitely going to do everything I can to switch majors. I’d still like to major in philosophy, but the thought of getting a bad GPA and ruining my future is not worth the risk.</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>Eh, a B in a symbolic logic course isn’t bad. And by the way, philosophy isn’t too selective at UCLA, so that’s probably why they admitted you.</p>
<p>I maintain that you’ll be fine, but if you’re unsure of your ability to do well in philosophy, that’s fine and understandable. </p>
<p>Hi Everyone! I just want to let you guys know that my admission did not get revoked. My major is neuroscience, but I dropped O chem I which is the prerequisite of my major. UCLA lets me retake this class in summer with a B or better. I submitted the change on 04/24/14, and I got a respond today(05-12-14). Yes, it took them 3 weeks to make a decision when you dropped a major course. Just BE PATIENT! </p>
<p>If you drop a class, notify them. They don’t tend to revoke anyone! They understand what circumstances we are facing as a community college student.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! Hopefully, I will see you all at UCLA. 
</p>
<p>@awevicsum did you state that you were going to take the O chem during the summer or did you only write down what class you dropped and then in the new contract is said oh you have to take O chem during the summer. I got int as an anthropology major and I dropped a physics class, but thats all I reported I did not write down that i was going to take it during the summer.</p>
<p>@collegeman18 Yes, I wrote down that I plan to retake it in summer since its a prerequisite and my major is super impacted at UCLA. Is physic a class that you need to take to finish IGETC? If so, I recommend retaking it during the summer. If not, I don’t think its gonna affect your admission. However, you do need to write a reason why you had to drop the class.</p>
<p>@awevicsum no its not for igetc. It is a major pre requisite but technically the physics i was taking was not even equivalent to UCLA’s physics for my anthropology major.</p>
<p>So far most of these questions have been regarding dropping courses. Can’t wait to see what happens when people start posting about getting Cs or worse.</p>
<p>I’ll probably be one of the first ones heh</p>
