Help from Political Science Majors

<p>I need your guys help. For those of us in Political Science, there is a major prereq called -</p>

<p>POL SCI 10 Introduction to Political Theory. </p>

<p>This prereq was canceled at my college so I am afraid that I might be rejected from UCLA on that basis. If that is the case, I am considering the idea of staying at a community college for one more year (that's just how dedicated I am to go to UCLA). However, staying at my community college is not a guarantee since the class was chosen to be canceled due to a lack of interest. With that being said, I am considering to go to a community college down in SoCal (i'm from the Bay). </p>

<p>My question is : Does your community college offer a class for that prereq? If so, is it only in the Spring? (If your cc offers it during the fall, that's a plus). Also, does your school have a strong TAP program/connection to UCLA? </p>

<p>I've been looking at Moorpark College but it appears that they only have it during the Spring. The reason why I'm moving to LA also stems from the fact that I am interested in taking courses at UCLA Extension to get an head-start. I dont really know how that works but all I know is - I'm exploring other options in case I dont get into UCLA. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>According to all the UCLA reps I’ve talked to, if the class isn’t offered at your community college, not taking it won’t knock your admission chances.</p>

<p>I’m a Political Science major and that class just straight up wasn’t offered at the CC I went to.</p>

<p>me too, poli sci major. and there is 7 sections of one poli sci class. so annoying. i can’t travel 40 minutes (one way) a day to take one class. i hope it doesn’t hurt me.</p>

<p>I would notify UCLA of the class change and let them know that you droppped the class because the class was cancelled. If you go to their admissions website, they have a e-mail address to which you can e-mail data changes.</p>

<p>If, however, you do get rejected from UCLA (and you should not get rejected on the basis of failing to register for a class because it was cancelled), you should look into Santa Monica College. They offer this class in addition to a lot of other Poli Sci classes and they are the number one UCLA feeder school.</p>

<p>I hope so. My gpa is above the average Poli Sci from last year plus I have TAP. According to other people, the fact that I only have 41 units done at the time of the application (i’ll have 60 by end of spring) isnt going to hinder me. I have 2 out of the 4 “supposed” offered courses done (with 1 in progress and the other canceled). Plus my EC’s and my essays are pretty solid. If I get rejected, I don’t know how and why. >:/</p>
