<p>So i had a 3.37 while i applied. (to UCB, la, I, SD, and SB)</p>
<p>I messed up badly on my final and got an F in my stats class, but can re-rake it in the summer.</p>
<p>Do I have aby chance left to get in anywhere?</p>
<p>Do any of you know about people getting in with something similar?</p>
<p>srsly? i got a D on my stats final, and ended up getting a B in my stats class. 
If only I got a C on the final…</p>
<p>what major? It is going to look bad though, and you do need to call the schools and tell them (unless you got your grades in time to put them on your january update). With your GPA, UCLA and UCB are a bit of a stretch in general, but it really depends on your major.</p>
<p>Unless you need the stats class for igetc i would say you still have a shot. What major btw?</p>
<p>…For SB. Don’t send them anything. Wait until you get your decision. If you get accepted you notify them of the situation in April, and they will see if it affects your admissions decisions. It is from the following text:</p>
<p>“Note: At this time, please do not send changes in your class schedule, letters of recommendation or other documents. If you are admitted to UCSB, we will ask that you send your schedule changes and mid-year grade questions in April�to see if those changes affect your admission status.”</p>
<p>Good luck. I know people will get in who failed classes and made them up already. If you have a similar GPA as them in the end, and your a resident of the State, IMO you should be given a chance at SB SD and Irvine.</p>
<p>I agree, I don’t think you’re screwed. I’m sure you’ll get into 1 or 2 of those, however, UCB and UCLA are going to be reaches.</p>
<p>By the way, I don’t mean to be condescending or elitist or anything, but why is stats so difficult for some? I’m honestly just curious. I loved stats (actually took Psych Stats which I’ve heard is supposed to be harder) and aced it. I find it way easier than algebra 2 and trig. I began calc this semester and dropped it (not a prereq though) because I thought it was way harder and a huge jump from stats.</p>
<p>Is Psych Stats alot different than straight stats? In my class we basically covered standard deviation, non-parametric stats, t-test, z-test, Type I and II errors, standard error of the mean, regression, standard error of the difference of the mean (I think that’s what it was called), and a few other things that I can’t remember.</p>
<p>Is that very different from normal stats classes? If so, then I apologize for not knowing the differences.</p>
<p>You should take a stats class at your local CC as soon as possible and not wait until summer. When the college you decide to attend asks for the final hs transcript, you will have the retake stat class and a better grade on your CC transcript.</p>
<p>I don’t get the struggle with stats either. You guys should really try your hand at fourier analysis then complain about math. HAHAHA :D</p>
<p>I think it depends on the class and the professor. One stats class I took was in the computer lab and we would use excel to plot and run all the formulas. So easy.</p>
<p>Having to re-take the class at a CC we used pen and paper and a scientific calculator. It makes the numbers harder to keep organized, thats the biggest difference IMO. And many concepts are poorly explained in lecture. I read the book though and aced it. People are intimidated by all the calculations. And some grading procedures are pretty harsh when you make an early error in a problem. I understand how students lose points easily.</p>
<p>Adam, yeah that’s true. I would agree that it varies by professor and teaching method. My class never used excel or anything, but we still covered many concepts. </p>
<p>Did the concepts of Psych stats that I mentioned above correspond at all with your class or with stats classes in general?</p>
<p>Yea it sounds exactly the same.</p>
