<p>So, I'm pretty sure I'm not getting in anywhere this year so I'll be applying again for Fall 2012. Now my question is, how bad are C's? I have 5 C's going into next fall and I was wondering how they're going to affect my acceptance. I know GPA is what matters and that a C correlates directly to it, but how closely do UC's look at each grade?</p>
<p>I got accepted to UCLA with a 3.84 gpa, two B’s one C and only one A in my first semester of college. After that first semester, 4.0’s all the way.</p>
<p>I have one 5-unit C that weighs heavily on my GPA and I got in (non-impacted major). I think overall GPA matters more but 5 C’s is a lot to balance out…</p>

<p>^Oops, misread this to be exclusively UCLA. Just have your GPA up to the TAG contact standards (which vary by UC), finish the requirements for the contract, and you’ll be fine :)</p>

<p>I have 5 Cs on my transcript, but I was still able to get accepted into UC Davis. I think that as long as you meet the minimum GPA requirements, it doesn’t matter how many Cs you have.</p>
<p>C’s are worse than herpes.</p>
<p>That’s how bad.</p>
<p>In my first semester of college the counselors did not tell me that I can drop classes with a w notation</p>
<p>They impact your GPA pretty damn badly, so just think about that. I’m not saying you should drop every class you might potentially get a C in, but you don’t want too many of them. I’m an econ major w/ 3 C’s (in all my math classes) and as a result my GPA is 3.15. It screwed me over for UCLA already, and I’m fearful that I’m facing an uphill battle with all the other UC’s as well.</p>
<p>Point being: Don’t get C’s lol.</p>
<p>Well, actually I misread it… 4 C’s are transferable.</p>
<p>I’m a bio major and my C’s are in:</p>
<p>Philosophy 101 (3 units)
English 102 (3 units)
Bio 205 (4 units)
Bio 240 (4 units)</p>
<p>The two C’s in the two bio classes thankfully don’t violate TAG since you need to get a C or higher in the biology classes.</p>
<p>i thought they dont want you to get below a 3.0 in certain subject areas like bio, chem, ochem etc</p>
<p>C’s outright murder your GPA. And you have to have a good major GPA to stand a chance. I would switch majors right now to something non-impacted. And how the hell do you get a C in philosophy and english?</p>
<p>If any new freshman are reading this, it is almost always advisable to withdraw than take a C.</p>
<p>People staying at their CCCs for year after year until they get into their dream school and taking Ws in classes they think they are going to get a C in is only going to make the CCCs even more crowded than they already are and make it nearly impossible for newly matriculated students from out of high school to get the courses they need to transfer in a timely manner. If this continues CCCs will cease to perform their function of giving the maximum number of students an opportunity to transfer to a four year university.</p>
<p>I have A’s in my other biology classes, & I took English/Philosophy out of high school and just didn’t care at the time. What majors are easier to get into? I still want to think of getting into medical school, and I know you don’t need to be a biology major to get in. Just don’t know what to do since I committed so much of my time to biology/chemistry.</p>
<p>I’m just saying, I’ve never actually been in that position since I show up to my classes half the time minimum and study once a week.</p>
<p>And trust me, CCCs stopped doing that a few years ago, and it isn’t because of subpar students. Budget cuts and poor administration have both done far more damage than a small group of wannabe transfer students that can’t handle community college. And those two have been in the works since and before this country fell in love with the idiotic notions of Reagan/Thatcher economics.</p>
<p>To get into medical school you just have to have the pre-reqs done. My brother applied and was accepted to the top 5 and his classmates ended up having degrees in history, sociology, math, engineering, Afro-Am studies…</p>
<p>Of course most had a bio or chem degree, but a lot didn’t.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>probably worse than A’s and B’s. definitely better than D’s and F’s.</p>
<p>^ With Cs in two Biology classes and an English class at a CCC you are not going to be going to medical school and staying at your CCC for yet another year you are depriving a possibly more deserving student an opportunity to benefit from studying at a CCC.</p>
<p>I might go even further and have the UCs stop looking to the CCCs as a source of transfer recruits, lift their defacto ban on transfers from CSUs and actively recuit the top students at the CSUs into the UCs. Unlike CCC courses, courses at CSUs are similar to equivalent courses at UCs in rigor. The CSUs would then have space available to provide CCC students with an opportunity to earn a four year degree.</p>
<p>“With Cs in two Biology classes and an English class at a CCC you are not going to be going to medical school and staying at your CCC for yet another year you are depriving a possibly more deserving student an opportunity to benefit from studying at a CCC.”</p>
<p>I might go even further and say that individuals who don’t know how to build sentences should not be allowed to transfer into UC’s (e.g. you).</p>
<p>Oh, you’re 60 years old.</p>
<p>That should be even more embarrassing.</p>
<p>I got one C and it ruined my GPA (mine is 3.53 right now). Could’ve had an A, but it was an online class and ALL of my assignments wouldn’t open since I saved it in the wrong file. ****es me off 'till this day.</p>
