<p>brand_182,</p>
<p>where can I find info for "comparable placement into top law/grad programs"? I would love to know the rankings and the research done behind the process of rankings behind that. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Hello everyone,
I am also kind of in the same boat as you guys. I messed up my first year of college but I somehow was fortunate to be admitted to UCSD for Fall 07. My provisions are to maintain a 2.5 overall and a 2.0 for the last term with 90 quarter units. My problem seems to be right now that I will have 89 quarter units by the end of Spring 07 at my current school. However, I also took summer school two summers before...so with summer school, I have 94 units total. My question to you guys is if you think UCSD will count my summer units as well? </p>
<p>I also did poorly for my Winter quarter with a NP, D, C, and B+, but it is well within my provisions for maintaining a 2.5 overall.</p>
<p>I think your best bet is simply to call UCSD and ask about the summer units.</p>
<p>Thanks, Brand. Your advice is definitely sound and is exactly what one of my professors said to me. The only thing is that Chicago is amazing and difficult while WashU seems comfortable to me. I don't know whether that degree of comfort is a really good thing, though.</p>
<p>Also, are you settled on Wes?</p>

<p>It depends on your interests. In my case, I am planning on law so I looked at top law schools, some of which report the undergraduate representation by institution for their incoming class. You could also check with the undergrad schools' (Chicago and WashU) pre-prof or grad programs to get recent data on students' success.</p>

<p>Yes. And that is also a "degree of comfort." :) </p>
<p>Rest assured that you can be challenged anywhere. WashU is still known for being pretty kick-ass, but at least there you can have some relaxed classes and then push yourself really hard if you want to. At Chicago it seems like it's all study and no play or you'll get B's and C's exclusively.</p>
