<p>I'm a 3.2 phil major, extra curriculars: taught English in a rural school in Bangladesh, editor of college paper, a lot clubs, blah blah blah. But this quarter, I took 5 classes. 4 of them were humanities liberal science types of classes and I got A's in all of them. The other class was a math class to finish my requirement. It was pre cal and I check now and I have a D. After the first midterm in the class I got a 9/20 and I was in the top 1/3 of the class. I guess I made a mistake in thinking that the score would be curved. I emailed the teacher..but I'm guessing I can say bye to UCLA?</p>
<p>well, the fact that you have a 3.2 for a phil major isn't... super. I'm a phil major too and given that phil IS not an impacted major, they still want a GPA above 3.3-3.4 (I'm just repeating what UCLA rep's told me about my situation).</p>
<p>As far as EC's go, you're pretty much like me. I know that UCB likes that, but the UCLA rep tells me that it isn't really an admissions mover. Can you re-take your math class? You said that you're in a quarter system, so can you re-take it this quarter?</p>
<p>If you factor the "D" into your GPA... your GPA will drop, significantly.</p>
<p>I really wish you all the best, but if your situation is as you say it is, I would say that your chances are greatly decreased (I hate to say stuff like this, really). Good luck, I hope it all sorts itself out. =)</p>
<p>I can retake the math class. But, will a spring class make any difference in the admissions process? Man, I should have taken the math class pass no pass</p>
<p>worst case scenario: retake the class in the spring, get an A, and use that as a basis for an appeal.</p>
<p>oh snap, that was assuming you're on quarters^^</p>
<p>ya im on quarter mr poppin</p>
<p>You can't withdraw? It'd be better than getting the D.</p>
<p>Did you already apply for fall 2008?</p>
<p>Yeah, Fall 2008 is what I applied for. I'm hoping to talk to the professor when spring quarter starts if we can work something out about the grade.</p>
<p>Well as long as you keep a 3.0 gpa a D should not even matter right? Didn't you already turn in your final grades?</p>
<p>if you keep that D you have no chance of getting into ucla.
You wouldn't have even finished your math requirement</p>
<p>Have you completed your math requirement beside the fact you got a D in?</p>
<p>you must must must retake this class in spring quarter.
if this is the class to satisfy your math requirement its absolutely necessary that you retake it for your chance to get into All UC's.</p>
<p>what ally says is true, but if you have updated your D for them to see before the update deadlines (jan 15 ucla, feb 15 uci ucsd berkeley) they will reject you with the D right then and there.</p>
<p>TC - have you gotten into any other UCs yet?</p>
<p>if you got into UCSD you should be ok for LA.
dunno what the philosophy average is at LA tho</p>
<p>3.4 and I still have hope to get into Business Econ. Dont ask me how I feel lucky I just do.</p>
<p>Well, I've gotten into San Diego and Santa Cruz. I don't know if those will be pulled on account of this course. I might be able to have him bump it to a C but I really don't know at this point, I dunno if 4 As in the same quarter will lighten the reaction to this any.</p>

<p>The A's will not outweigh the D you received. Basically, a D is no credit so you would not have fulfilled your math requirement (assuming that this class is for IGETC). So not only does this lower your GPA, UCLA will act as if you don't have your math requirement fulfilled in IGETC.</p>
<p>It would've been better to get B's and a C in Math. In this case, you get credit for all your courses.</p>
<p>I would retake the class spring quarter and notify UCLA immediately. Or, if you can get your professor to change the grade to a C, it shouldn't affect your chances.</p>
<p>so then how much do our winter/spring grades really matter since we already updated our fall grades two months ago? Do we just not have to fail any classes? </p>
<p>Because really we don't have to send in our final transcripts until july, right? And our gpa starts over again when we get to the uc, so it's not like we have to maintain a perfect gpa...so...yea</p>
<p>our conditions of acceptance we (for the most part) have to have a gpa of 2.7-3.2 is that all we really have to minimally have for our last quarter? We don't have to send in transcripts before then right?</p>
<p>by 2.7 does that include any ds or fs?
because for freshman admits i remember you had to notify them "immediately" if you got a d or f.</p>
