<p>@bhav007, OK, question is: are the two foundations for UCSC, IGETC or major? If IGETC they often let that go. If major, i guess it boils down to was it required or recommended - or did your school
not offer it? They let it slide if the class was unavailable at your school. </p>
<p>UCI and UCSD look good. Obviously, fairly unlikely for UCB, and missing a required for UCD not good. </p>
<p>Since they are “foundation” major courses for UCSC, I would say they can go under required. These two were offered at my school. I’ll have IGETC done by the end of this Spring.</p>

<p>I think only waitlist offers will be at the end of April…I’m certain April 18th is the day. </p>
<p>i’m kinda worried… i applied to UCSD & UCI and my entire IGETC will be done by the end of this semester, given i pass my intro statistics course. and i am doing kind of badly. i know that not having a math course is unacceptable for transferring into a CSU (golden four etc…) but if i fail - if i happen to get in - can my acceptance to a UC be rescinded? i don’t really anticipate failing if i work really hard, but in the event that i do…</p>
<p>If not having a transferable math course will get you denied from a CSU, what makes you think the university system with more stringent requirements and admissions standards will be ok with that?</p>
<p>Can’t you get a tutor @tstar1929? Getting a D or F ain’t good.</p>
<p>If you’re having trouble passing statistics…heck, if even getting an A in statistics poses any difficulty, then you’re wasting a lot of time worrying about the UCs. I am just trying to be realistic. If you’re worried about passing by far the easiest transferable math course, then it’s time to turn everything around or change your school choices. I feel like a dick. But c’mon now. I wish you the best of luck, but go get some tutoring ehy.</p>

<p>Statistics can actually be a little bit hard for those who aren’t good at math. For a lot of people, it will be the only math class they have to take after high school, so if you have trouble with it, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will have difficulty with other UC coursework. </p>

But yeah, you should buckle down and put all energy into doing well in that class, because failing that class would likely get you rescinded. I recommend Khan Academy. Look it up. He makes math and science very simple.</p>
<p>Sometimes, a course is not the same at all colleges. @j91137125, statistics may be easy for you but I don’t think saying that it is the easiest transferable math course is justified. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Plus, it may be because the professor is super hard. I have had courses in which the subject is easy but the professor is not clear and has ridiculously hard exams.</p>
<p>Getting a D or a fail WILL get his/her admission rescinded, especially since he/she doesn’t even have a transferable math course right now. </p>
<p>Statistic is not at all a hard course, but indeed it is utterly, utterly boring. I could barely persuade myself to do the homework or any take-home assignment when I was taking this class, simply because I didn’t want to see any statistic stuff any more at the spare time…</p>
<p>This class was SO boring. But it was actually very cool and interesting when I sat down by myself and learned all the material the weekend before the test. It might come hard to you though if you have trouble teaching yourself. Maybe there are online stats courses at other community colleges? I doubt it since the 8 week programs have already started by now</p>
<p>Gotta be honest. I hate math, haven’t been good at it since the third grade. Lol. I have struggled with it my entire life, and honestly it was a main reason I did so poorly in high school. I struggled so bad I felt I was dumb, and became quickly discouraged with everything else.</p>
<p>With that said I took a 8 week winter session Statistics course recently, and while it was difficult, I put in the time, effort, and late nights and received an A. It is not an impossible course, there is no such thing. Put in the time, clear your schedule, do whatever it takes. I understand you may have a job, and need hours at work, but I think you should definitely spend money a good tutor, or more time to study. It would suck to be accepted and then not be able to go because of a math class.</p>
<p>Don’t give up.</p>
<p>“Bad at math is an excuse you tell yourself to make failure hurt less.” </p>
<p>Math is challenging for pretty much everyone. If you dedicate enough time for math it becomes easy. If you find it difficult, you are most likely not dedicating enough time or are studying ineffectively. </p>
<p>Why do people make fun of Nickelback so much?There are much worst band out there.</p>
<p>I agree with DeskFan. I work as a calculus and statistics tutor at my college. I work with upwards of 30 statistics students every shift, and am often [internally] frustrated with so many of them. The majority of them do not even attempt to read the book or try figuring things out themselves. Some will complain about failing the tests, yet answer “no” when I ask them “Did you do the homework?” or “Did you read the book?” Today one student asked me to define a statistics term. I told them to open the book and find the answer (as she was just leeching answers from the tutors). In less than twenty seconds she found the answer she was looking for. 9/10 times, the answer to their question is found in large bold print just two pages away. My point is, statistics, like any course, takes some sort of dedication, a dedication which so many students just refuse to have. For some, the course may be challenging, but anyone of average intelligence can ace statistics with enough dedication, and that dedication is precisely what schools are looking for… or not. I’m still trying to get accepted to a school myself, haha…</p>
<p>@collegedropout, idk, nickelback is pretty terrible.</p>
<p>@Zalrons Not as bad as katy perry </p>
<p>It’s either you love Statistics or you don’t. I took it last semester and I had to put in a lot of time and effort because I’m not that logical. I dislike word problems but you just have to get the hang of it. I don’t think anyone should be put down for getting a bad grade in Stats. Some people prefer pre-calc rather than Stats. Everyone has their own preference and I don’t think it’s in anyone’s place to put people down just because they’re having a hard time with this subject. </p>
<p>No one is putting anyone down. The point is, just like for any class, If you’re determined, you will pass it. If one thinks a few hours a week of studying means “working hard,” then it should be of no surprise why one would fail. You hated it, but you were determined and studied hard, so you passed it. Anyways, let’s get back to Nickelback, Katy Perry, and UCSD.</p>
