math major transfer UCLA and UCB

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>so basically i am majoring in math and computer science, and i have a question lets say i get a B in calc 1 and calc 2 but in the rest of my classes i got an A including igetc and transfer requirements ! would getting B in those to classes affect me differently from getting a B in igetc classes ? like you get my question ? so since my major is math and i got a B in two math classes would that look as bad as getting a B in 2 non math classes ? or would it look worse ? and what about gpa for math students ? does anyone know the range of gpa's of math majors that got accepted through transfer to ucla and ucb ?</p>

<p>THANK SO MUCH !</p>

<p>I would apply anyway, since AFAIK they just look at your overall transferable GPA. I’m a math major too!</p>

<p>B’s in calculus would look worse than B’s in GEs, probably not enough to lose sleep over. But assuming you only got those 2 B’s in calculus and A’s in EVERYTHING ELSE, then you’re fine.</p>

4

<p>now i have the option of retaking the classes and lets say i get an A in the retake time ! now when ill send my grades they will see both the A and the B that i got in that same class ! do you think it would make it look better ?and what AFAIK ?</p>

<p>sorry for the double post any other opinions ???</p>

<p>Not worth retaking B’s. Do well in calc 3, diff eq, and linear algebra and you should be fine.</p>

7

<p>Its not that much of a problem ! But still do these B;s look worse</p>

8

<p>I thought you couldn’t retake if you got a passing grade. But sure, whatever floats your boat.</p>

9

<p>There’s no need to retake them. Math department really needs more people to declare. As long as ur overall GPA is like a 3.5+ you’re golden. Don’t fret, it’s not a very popular major</p>

10

<p>Well basically I can appeal my grade and then they will let me take it. But supa_ramshackle u sure 3.5 is golden ?</p>

<p>well I got a B in precalc, C in calc1, A in stats and I’m a math major lol. I’m applying to UCB UCSD AND UCD (got in for TAG). I’m in calc2 right now and will be taking calc3+ diff/eq next sem. good luck!</p>

<p>If you can not get an A in both Calculus I and Calculus II at a community college I am not sure you want to be a math major at UCB or UCLA. It may be true that Calculus I - III using the Stewart textbook are not easy courses, but upper division Math courses are vastly more difficult. A B in those courses would be perfectly fine for an Engineering major, someone you wants to major in math should get an A in each of those courses without breaking a sweat.</p>
