Transfer Students UC Transfers

Hi I am a student at a California community college .I am applying to transfer to UCLA,UC Davis, UC Irvine & UC Berkeley this fall.For now I have a 3.92 GPA,with my only B,up to now,comes from my English 1B course.

My intended major is math.For now I am having some difficulty in my Differential Equation class though I have had 2 Bs in exam up to now.I can still fix that but just in case the worst thing happen and I end up having a B in this math class will this end my chance at any of those schools?

Not the end of the world at all. You have been doing well. I’m pretty sure math isn’t too competitive compared to other majors -

bottom line, try your best, but don’t stress out if you get one B in a math class. It’s not too big of a deal, honestly.

Thanks for the reply.You are right may be I should not stress out too much. Its just that since I major in math naturally I would think a B in math will be bad. I mean I wouldnt be worried if that B is in other subjects.

Worst case scenario, you get one B in a major-related requirement - and your major isn’t even impacted. You’re fine. Just keep pushing throughout the rest of the semester.

I’m applying as a Stats major. I’m taking DE, Linear and Calc 3 this semester and I think I’ll get one B as well. It’ll be my first as well so I don’t think I’ll worry that much.

I think you’ll be fine.

Thanks you guys.How about my chance at each of these schools?Is it a must for all math students transfer to UC Berkeley or UCLA to have just straight As in math?

A friend of mine got in with a C in Calc II. You’ll be fine for admissions but definitely review for Math 110 or else you’ll be eaten alive.

I have read that MIT has accepted freshmen who got an B in calculus in high school. I think these schools recognize that everyone can do less than perfect work at times.

When you took math at your CCC, you probably found that your teachers sometimes made mistakes when doing math in front of the class. Everyone does it.
