<p>I believe the UCLA counselours have said that they want you to complete as many major classes by the time of applying, is that true? Or is that only for impacted majors?</p>
<p>Oh and, what semesters do they consider your grades? Does Fall 2006 grades get into account when they consider admissions, after you turn in your transcripts etc?(I am applying this fall) NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER ME THIS QUESTION FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!</p>
<p>I hope so. Because if they do take my fall 2006 grades into account, they should see about 70% of the complete major classes I need to take.</p>
<p>HELP!!</p>
<p>Well does anyone know what I am asking? Hope I worded it right.</p>
<p>Here's my schedule for the two years, the asterisks indicate my major class. I should be done with my major classes and IGETC by the time I get out in the full two years.</p>
<p>Major: Global Studies + pre-med</p>
<p>Fall 2005
Chem 110
Math 110
English 101
Library 191</p>

<p>As a general rule the top universities want you to complete courses in your prospective major to get an accurate measurement of how you'll do in upper-division work. A large majority of admits to non-impacted majors at UCLA and Berkeley have 4.0 GPAs in major course work. For impacted majors you should on top of that have good grades (by good I mean above a 3.4) in non-major course work.</p>

<p>If you apply for admission Fall 2006, all grades prior to Spring 2007 (Winter 2007 for semester schools) will be taken into account, including the courses that are in progress during the time you fill out your application. You will be asked to submit an update application.</p>
<p>Also since the course numbers are different for every community college it would probably be beneficial if you just put down which part of IGETC the course fullfills or use the title of the course - ex. Intro to stats.</p>
<p>Thank you very much. Both were great help.
My major GPA is a 3.8 and my overall GPA is 3.5(Damn those 5 unit classes that I got B's in!!) Currently a Global Studies Major, which is not impacted, in fact, it's a new major. And I am still working on improving my GPA, overall.</p>
