<p>How bad is it to go down in gpa in this fall semester? I have a 3.43 gpa right now, 3 A’s, 4 B’s, and some AP credits. This semester I’m most likely going to get my first C in Pre-Cal. I’m freaking out over it, but about 80% of the grade is just tests and I’m not very good at math. </p>

<p>My grades have kind of been going down, my first semester is the only semester I ever got any A’s.
I’m applying to UCSD, UCSB and UCD for linguistics. By the end of this semester I’ll be at 3.3-3.4 gpa range. How bad is this C for my chances, especially at UCSD and UCD?</p>

You should probably complete all of the pre-reqs for UCI. I’m pretty sure there is no cap on units for lower division CC credit. They are talking about upper division units when they say there is a unit max. I could be wrong, but you should talk to your transfer councilor and find out for sure.</p>

<p>@acoustic, we kitty’s have to look out for each other. <3</p>

<p>pulled those by going through your post history, haha mine is far too long to look through.</p>

504

<p>@UCkittychen You still aiming for UCI?</p>

505

<p>@imacoolperson DON’T you even worry! That major isn’t impacted anywhere you’re applying to. Id say you’re in at all. I’m 99% sure. </p>

<p>@UCKitty: that melted my heart.<3</p>

506

<p>@iwillflyby, YES! but UCSD has been coming into option. but Irvine still is my number 1, then UCD then UCSD, ha.</p>

<p>how about you?</p>

<p>@acoustic, <3 xo.</p>

507

<p>UCLA and UCI still, but I was looking into Global Studies in UCI and just minoring in Linguistics, if I don’t get in UCLA.
UCLA is still Linguistics and Asian Language and Cultures, waiting for the release of this years admission rates by major.</p>

508

<p>what are you looking to do?</p>

<p>are you going to live in campus housing? I’m guessing you live in LA/OC?</p>

509

<ol>
<li>UCI, I have to move there and live alone. UCLA, I’ll just drive everyday.</li>
</ol>

<p>@tomatoman- those C’s in Chem will kill your overall appeal to the UCSD since they want your major pre-req classes to be a good grade. UCSB you’ll get in if you did a TAG</p>

511

<p>Iwillflyby: You’re 818? Haha so am I!</p>

512

<p>Yeee yeee. There’s a couple of people I see around that goes to PCC. They’re out there.</p>

513

<p>I go to PCC too!</p>

514

<p>Did you do Scholar’s Program?</p>

515

<p>hey you guys, I have a question. Would you recommend me applying in Psychology at UCD with a 3.1 GPA (expected by the end of the semester) with a 3.8-4.0 GPA in psych pre-reqs? Or should I apply as a sociology or other non-selective major because of my horrible GPA? I really want to go to Davis. I’m freaking out :(</p>

516

<p>Nope. Not a part of the scholars program</p>

<p>Vikram: How’s psychology at Davis? Impacted? And you didn’t tag did you?</p>

517

<p>@Kittty: Yeah, I believe it’s impacted. I didn’t TAG because I didn’t qualify for the 3.2 GPA requirement. I’m not sure what I should apply as because I REALLY want to go to davis. Should I apply with a non-selective major? UC Davis’ website says that students need a 2.8 GPA to be competitive. That gives me hope lol.</p>

518

<p>You should. I heard from past transfers that it’s a monster. Are you in AGS?</p>

519

<p>Yeah, I’ve seen 3.4’s get rejected from Psych. I spoke to a rep and he told me to apply as a psych major THEN a managerial econ major as my alternate. I’ll probably apply as a sociology major, but I won’t have too many of my pre-reqs done for socio. I’ll have almost all of my psych pre-reqs done with "A"s lol. What a waste :frowning: Will they look at my pre-reqs? Or will they not since sociology is a non-selective major? Thanks!</p>

520

<p>Oh and I don’t think my CC has AGS. Or at least I’ve never heard of it here.</p>
