<p>ok, i've proved myself wrong.....good</p>
<p>Students will be selected primarily on the basis of academic performance and preparation as assessed by review of the following: quality and amount of progress toward completion of major preparation requirements, quality of and performance in transferable courses, completion of the English composition and mathematics requirements, and progress toward completion of UCLA's general education requirements or completion of the IGETC. Other criteria that will be considered include the following: student responses to life challenges and special circumstances, personal achievement, participation in programs that develop academic abilities, older/returning student and veteran status, leadership, achievements, awards, employment, and volunteer and community service.</p>
<p>Well I'm still not completely sure if this answers my question. It is in the same category here as completion of IGETC and I am almost positive they don't expect IGETC completed by the end of Fall. Perhaps "quality" refers to courses already completed and "progress" means at the end of Spring. I'm analyzing this too much...</p>
