Ineligible at UCI and UCR bc of my Chemistry grades?

<p>I am a bio major...</p>

<p>I got a C+ in Gen Chem I, C in lab and an A in Gen Chem II, C in lab again :(. UCI states you need a B in Gen Chem (not sure what they state about lab) in order to transfer. Does this mean they'll reject my automatically because of those grades?</p>

<p>Same thing with UCR. They say you need a 2.7 (B-) in both semesters of O-Chem to transfer. Looks like I'm going to end up with a C in both semesters...Is this school seriously going to reject me because of one class???</p>

<p>Not to late to change it around. I would try to improve your grades as much as possible. Show a position trend.</p>

<p>Are you referring to O-Chem or my overall GPA? I took my O-Chem II Final today, my grades are pretty much set in stone for O-Chem. </p>

<p>I’m not worried about my other grades really, but these 2 semesters of O-Chem destroyed my GPA because it was a 5 unit class. </p>

<p>But do you know about my question? Is it simple “DENY” once they see my Chemistry grades don’t meet their requirements?</p>

<p>B or BUST!! </p>

<p>I know you’re not applying to Cal under the Econ major, but this is just a general example:
For Cal Econ, the lowest grade you can get in a prereq class is a B-. Even if you get into the school, have completed all the prereqs but got one C+ in one of them… you will not be accepted! That’s why I say B or Bust because at least that way you can make it up… even though if you apply to grad school they will average out the new grade + ‘bust’ grade.</p>

<p>I can’t say for sure but I think they will consider your other grades too before getting the automatic boot. </p>

<p>Are you sure want to be a bio major anyway? Another good question to ask yourself.</p>

<p>Well yeah, I’m pretty good at Bio and I like most science classes. I’m not going to consider changing majors just because of one class that a lot of people struggle with.</p>
