I was dismissed by UCD, what should I do now?

<p>I was just dismissed by UC Davis and I am so sad now... I will work hard to change my fate. I have several questions to ask and I really appreciate your answers.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I want to transfer to UCB or UCLA. Can I do it before readmission of UCD? Will UCB or UCLA reject me because I was dismissed by a UC?</p></li>
<li><p>I have applied to Diablo Valley College. Is it too late? What will happen if I get into a course which has started several days ago? What else community colleges do you guys recommend?</p></li>
<li><p>What about transferring from california to other states? Is the probability too little?</p></li>
<li><p>Will it help if I get a high grade in GRE subject test? Or I just need to deal with SAT and SAT2?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks you guys!</p>

<p>It would help others respond to you if you were able to answer some questions.</p>

<h1>1 Why were you dismissed from Davis?</h1>

<h1>2 How many units have you completed at Davis?</h1>

<h1>3 what’s your major?</h1>

<h1>4 what’s your GPA?</h1>

<p>To answer your question, yes you would be rejected by UCLA or Berkeley or any other UC if you were academically dismissed from UC Davis. If you leave one UC not in good standing, then you are ineligible to attend another UC. If you get into the course that started several days ago then you have some catch-up to do… duh.</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply!</p>

<p>I was dismissed because My GPA is only 0.8… I am a freshman so I have taken only one quarter. I finished no more than 10 units. My major is Mathematics but I am not sure whether I still want to remain math major.</p>

<p>Your only option is to go to community college and bring up your GPA. You need at least a 2.0 to transfer to any school. If I were you, I wouldn’t even bother going to community college if I wasn’t prepared to do the work. There’s no point in piling on bad grades on top of bad grades. You’re only going to dig yourself into a deeper hole. I’m assuming that you have the ability to be a decent student since you were admitted to UC Davis, but clearly something is going on that’s causing you to not care at all about school. Before you rush into taking more classes, you need to figure out your issues. Whenever you do go to school, community college, I repeat, is your only option with a 0.8 GPA.</p>

<p>You need to be realistic. Why did you let this happen? How are you going to make sure you don’t repeat the situation. Did UCD give you conditions to fulfill to be readmitted? With your record, it might be a bad idea to start a class that has begun. </p>

<p>Undergraduate colleges do not care about GRE scores.</p>

<p>Thanks for your suggestions. </p>

<p>I am an international student so I have to take a college to stay in US. That is true that I do not pay attention to study. I will work hard because I realize how serious it is… </p>

<p>I must take UC summer courses. When my total UC GPA over 2.0, I can come back.</p>

<p>For the most terrible situation, I may retake SAT and apply for freshman again…</p>

<p>

<p>Not necessarily. The definition of a fr applicant varies by school, but for many as little as 1 post-HS college course makes you a transfer applicant. You need to check college websites for their policies. And if you’ve completed a year of post-HS college, you will be considered a transfer applicant at any US college.</p>

<p>Schools can easily find your previous college enrollments here:</p>

<p>[National</a> Student Clearinghouse](<a href=“http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/]National”>http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/)</p>

<p>You are considered a transfer applicant now. If you want to apply they will look at both your HS and College grades for admission. With a .8 GPA no college worthwhile will consider enrolling you, you are too much of a risk. SATs, GREs, etc, no one cares about. Your only option is to goto a CC and raise your GPA. You can then apply for readmission or goto a different school such as a CSU.</p>

<p>It might help your completion rate if you could take and score well on CLEP test/s from the College Board. Those test scores become credits when transferred into schools that accept them. See this list: <a href=“https://clep.collegeboard.org/exam[/url]”>https://clep.collegeboard.org/exam&lt;/a&gt;. If you have German, French or Spanish, those might be low-hanging fruit.</p>

<p>Just fyi, I don’t think UC’s accept CLEP credits.</p>

<p>

<p>While the second statement is true, the first one is not always. Since the OP has only completed 1 qt of post-HS college, they will still be considered a fr applicant at some schools. My earlier post discusses the range in who is considered a fr applicant.</p>

<p>^ the 2nd sentence nulls the 1st one. A transfer applicant is by definition someone who has taken colligate level coursework after high school. </p>

<p>Obviously he would get freshman status but he would still be a transfer applicant.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No, that’s not true, as I’ve been trying to point out, colleges vary in their definition of who is a transfer student, anywhere from 1 post-HS college class to less than a year of post-HS college coursework. </p>

<p>About:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Also not true, let’s break it down:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This statement is not always true, for example:</p>

<p><a href=“https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/application-process/transferring-harvard-college/transfer-eligibility[/url]”>https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/application-process/transferring-harvard-college/transfer-eligibility&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>By Hs definition, the OP is a fr applicant.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is true, any applicant, including fr, must submit transcripts from all colleges attended (both pre and post-HS) when applying to any college. </p>

<p>So, as a fr applicant to H, the OP would be evaluated based on both their HS and college record, ie. your first statement is not always true, but your second one is.</p>

<p>^ You learn something new every day. I didn’t know colleges like Harvard don’t even allow transfer credit.</p>

<p>^Yes, that’s interesting. They do allow transfer credits for transfer applicants, just not for these students because they applied and are coming in as fr.</p>

<p>Y has the same definition of a transfer applicant as H, not sure how they deal with post-HS college credits taken by fr applicants.</p>

<p>DVC is one of the best community colleges in California. It doesn’t sound like you like to work hard, so I’d recommend starting off with classes at one of the sister schools like Los Medanos College which is nearby, and way waaaay easier. The school is almost a joke in comparison. In fact, almost any other community college is going to be easier. I wouldn’t wait to sign up for classes, take what you can get since it sounds like you need to be a full time student to stay in the country. And like everyone else said, get that GPA up and you’re solid. Good luck</p>

<p>Well, actually the deadline for international application has passed, so I have go to Sacramento City College.</p>

<p>I plan to retake SAT and try to get a 3.7+ GPA in CC. In summer I will take summer school in some college. Do you guys have some recommendations?</p>

<p>Forget about the SAT, GRE or any other tests. You’re now a college student and you need to do well in your college classes, that’s what transfer schools will be the most concerned with.</p>

<p>How are you going to keep and maintain a 3.7? Better get some good study skills going. Entomom is right, retaking the SAT is not going to help. They’ve already seen what you are capable of doing on your own; now you have to prove to them that you can return to the university by focusing on improving your grades within community college workloads.</p>
