<p>My admissions contract says I have to get a "B" in the summer class I am taking.</p>
<p>What happens if I get a C? Will they automatically take away my UCLA admission?</p>
<p>Is there any way UCLA would lower the "B" requirement to a "C"?</p>
<p>Reason I ask is that this subject isn't my strongest and I fear that I won't be able to get a "B".</p>
<p>This class isn't part of my major requirement/pre-requisites. It is, however, to fulfill the IGETC.</p>
<p>when they say "B," i am pretty sure they mean a "B."</p>
<p>just do your best and hopefully you'll get the grade you need. don't expect admissions to have much mercy, unless you suffer from some grave head injury while taking the class.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm trying. I just have that fear that I won't get the B... it would really suck if that class killed my UCLA dream.</p>
<p>what class is this?</p>
<p>Math 245. For my IGETC. Not a requirement/pre-req for my major.</p>
<p>Any one else have an opinion on the matter? Thanks.</p>
<p>I think it's odd that they specified a grade for a class that wasn't a major prereq</p>
<p>You think it's because I was originally taking the class in Spring 08, but dropped it because I was taking 6 classes (too hard for me, personally. I thought I could handle it but I couldn't)...</p>
<p>You think that's why they said B? Maybe as some sort of "punishment"? Hah.</p>
<p>They do know you dropped it and are going to take it over summer, right?</p>
<p>Either way, they said B and they mean B. You're at the mercy of your prof</p>
<p>Yeah, they know. That's how I got that Transfer Agreement.</p>
<p>I guess I have two shots to get a B right? Since there's two summer sessions at the community colleges in the area. </p>
<p>Man I hate math. Haha. Going to suck if Math is the reason for my dream being crushed.</p>
<p>You don't have to settle for a B. You can aim for an A. If you're asked why you got an A instead of a B, simply tell them the sky is your limit, give yourself a pat on the back and walk away.</p>
<p>i think it is really IMPORTANT that you get the "B". because i think before you transfer you should have most (if not all) the pre-reqs complete in addition to IGETC, both of which helps basically bring you to a junior level standing. </p>
<p>yesterday, i saw in the "UC Transfer" forum, one of the threads was talking about ucla rescinding people because of low grades. ucla is cruel enough to take away your spot, as sad as that may be.</p>
<p>by the way, what kind of math is math 245?</p>
<p>Class title is College Algebra.</p>
<p><em>Runs and hides from people pointing and laughing</em></p>
<p>I suck at math.</p>
<p>Heard back from UCLA. They said if I don't get the B then chances of getting rescinded are EXTREMELY high.</p>
<p>I'd better study even more! Thanks to everyone who replied.</p>
<p>Do yourself a favor and remove all doubt and get an A.</p>
<p>Hopefully you're already on the right track, but don't hesitate to visit your school's tutoring center every day. If I were in your situation I would go straight there after every class meeting. Math in particular is one of those subjects (especially during a short term like summer) that it is very easy to start a nose dive from which there is no escape. Once you go past that point of no return, there is no pulling up and it is over. Do what it takes to not let that happen to you.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>Just go tell your teacher now that you suck at math, accepted at UCLA, must get B or will be rescinded and need extra help. </p>
<p>Most teachers if aware of such situations will help you.</p>
<p>sorry sfv2008, i did not mean to embarrass you. i think algebra is hard, but only up to a certain point when it clicks. at least for me this is what happened. </p>
<p>i would definitely take edward04's advice and just go to the tutoring center everyday and get help. because you would probably need to take another higher level math once you get to ucla anyways, it is best to do well on this and built a good foundation. as sad as it is, algebra kind of comes back in every math class after it.</p>
<p>you could explain your situation to your teacher, but not sure what that would since the teacher may not sympathize.</p>
<p>best of luck to you</p>
<p>I'd go one step further and not necessarily rely on the college's tutoring center (unless it was top notch and open daily). Hire a private math tutor and meet daily. :) If my transfer to a top school like UCLA was hinging on a math grade, I'd live-breath-eat the class and ace it. It's worth the financial investment in the tutor to keep your spot at UCLA.</p>

<p>Answer these two simple questions.</p>
<p>Q1: Are you a Female?
Q2: Is your Professor/Teacher a Male?</p>
<p>If you answered YES to both of these questions, you know what to do.
If you answered NO to one of the questions, you better start studying.</p>
<p>***! Are you somehow suggesting that she'll have an advantage by sucking the teacher's whammy if she's female and he's male?</p>
