Dropping Stats and taking terminal math in winter.

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I've decided to drop my stats class because I've always had trouble in math and sadly stats is no exception and instead take terminal mathematics in the winter because it's easier and it will transfer. What I want to know is if this will significantly harm my chances of being accepted into UCLA, my first choice among UCs.</p>

<p>Some facts about myself and the major at UCLA which I plan to enter:</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.85(It'll probably decline a little after this semester to about 3.8 or so).</p>

<p>My major is philosophy.</p>

<p>I'm a member of my school's TAP program.</p>

<p>I go to Santa Monica College of all places. :P</p>

<p>UCLA's philosophy program is not impacted.</p>

<p>Average admitted GPA for that major is 3.56 as of fall 2012(Surprisingly low for UCLA, lol).</p>

<p>I've heard UCLA rejects pretty much all applicants who haven't satisfied their math requirement by Fall. Is this true? Am I screwed? Or do I still have a chance if I pass terminal math in the winter session? :P</p>

<p>Thanks in advance. :)</p>

<p>What is “terminal math”?</p>

<p>It’s a kind of math class that is intended for liberal arts majors who need a transferable math class. I probably should’ve taken stats, but oh well.</p>

<p>I think he means Finite Mathematics. The transfer academic update’s deadline is end of January so you’ll definitely miss that. Just make sure you actually finish that class and you contact the admissions office at UCLA and let them now that you completed that class as soon as possible. I think you’ll be fine. Definitely better off completing it during winter session than spring semester.</p>

<p>Thanks, RamonaFalls! And yeah I meant Finite Math. Sorry.</p>

<p>How would I provide proof that I completed the class? Do I mail transcripts or something? How should I contact them if I complete the class in the Winter? By email, phone, or does it not matter?</p>

<p>Sorry, I just have so many questions.</p>
