<p>3.59 TAP for English</p>
<p>I just dont have my Math done, and one english pre-req done but I will have it done by this Spring...and I have 4 Ws on my transcript... =(</p>
<p>chances?</p>
<p>Two of the pre-reqs of UCLA’s english requirements are the two portions of IGETC that you need to complete for the UCs. If you don’t have those and the other pre-reqs completed, then that MAY be a problem because UCLA tends to be very strict on pre-reqs. Your GPA and TAP give you a nice edge though so hopefully those tip the scale in your favor. Other than that, it’s kind of 50-50 right now.</p>
<p>i agree 50-50</p>
<p>whoops, when I said English pre-req, I meant an english course meant for my english major…I’ve completed two english courses already (English 1 & 2) which is required for IGETC. I just lack one course which is a pre-req for my english major.</p>
<p>the math I will be doing this spring semester and completing it by this semester as well. will this still put me at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>did you get A’s in those major pre-reqs?</p>
<p>it won’t put you at a disadvantage because you have one math transferable course planned for Spring 2010 right?
If that is the case they will send you a provisional contract stating that you must pass your math class with a “C” or better the Spring semester prior to transferring Fall 2010.
They accepted me at UCLA without math under the condition that I pass it the Spring semester before Fall 2009…but I didnt so im here again. sad lol.</p>
<p>got As for two of the four pre-reqs, a B in one and taking the last one this spring</p>
<p>“They accepted me at UCLA without math under the condition that I pass it the Spring semester before Fall 2009…but I didnt so im here again. sad lol.”</p>
<p>Epic fail. How did you pull that one off? I wish you good luck and hope you get in.</p>
<p>thanks i hope you get in too, i love happy endings. <3 :)</p>
<p>well this is how it happened. i failed my math class (college algebra) Spring 2009. I had a negative attitude towards algebra, it went as follows:
“i hate when letters and numbers are combined and point plotting. i can’t stand that algebra is not applicable to real life, when am i ever going to use this shizz!? all i need in my real life is the ability to calculate my gpa, figure out how much money i earn in a week and make sure its enough to pay my expenses and learn what percentages are to calculate my shopping savings”
so with that attitude i didn’t drop my math course because my instructor said,“as long as you pass the final exam with a C you pass the class.”
so i tried and like you said “epic fail”.</p>
<p>anyways I took Statistics this fall and passed with an A.
I love stats, you can use it in real life. and it makes sense. and i love word problems. straightforward no nonsense A for me.</p>
<p>Knowing which classes to take is literally the most important part of community college. The rest is luck. You have to get lucky in a sense because you hope to get good professors who don’t bore the hell out of you. I obsessively looked over and mapped which courses to take. I almost made the same mistake you did taking college algebra. It wasn’t hard per-say, but it was dreadfully boring and impractical. That same semester I was enrolled in stats 120 which is equivalent to the math requirement. I stuck with the one I liked and dropped the other immediately. So instead of an F I got a W (which is so much better because it wont hurt your GPA) So in conclusion, always know which classes you can take to fulfill requirements, especially the lesser known classes that do, indeed, fulfill the same requirements that a popular class like algebra would fulfill. If you don’t know then at least register for IGETC classes while you figure it out.</p>
<p>Despite the failure I would say you have a good GPA for English. However, I would have applied as American lit or comp lit major to ensure you get in, then transfer to English If I were you. People think it’s difficult, but for the amount of money you are paying to attend a public institution payed for by your parents tax dollars…I think they will figure out a way to let you study what you wish to study (Unless it’s HIGHLY HIGHLY impacted)</p>
