<p>So does anyone know if im already admitted and my gpa drops from a 3.16 to a 3.125, will they revoke my acceptance?</p>

<p>@mermaker I’m not sure, I didn’t know they required it to be done that long ago?</p>

<p>@kayvuvu Don’t be surprised, I’m sure you very much deserve it! That’s awesome, Irvine is a wonderful school as well :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I haven’t heard back from UCSB, but I don’t have high hopes as I’ve been rejected from everywhere so far besides Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is a beautiful place and I’d be more than happy to go there, but Santa Barbara is much closer to home and has a program I’m much more interested in (physiology at SB rather than neuroscience at SC).</p>

</code></pre>

<p>Edit: I actually got accepted in “Pre-chemistry”
What does that mean? Does that mean I have to finish up a few courses there before I can actually get into the chemistry major or?</p>

<p>so i found out i was accepted a month later after everyone else hahahhaah. im baffled though because it says my major is environmental science… dafuq??? my major is economics! yabish</p>

<p>@hiwhatsgood, Economics is a selective major at UCSB it is likely that you did not meet the requirements, such as missing pre-reqs or your major GPA was to low. Likely you were admitted to your alternate major which I assume was Environmental Science. I suggest re-reading your admit letter.</p>

<p>I was accepted to UCI and UCD for Computer Engineering a while ago even though I was missing prerequisites. I TAGged to UCSB, I fullfilled all of the prerequisites there and I am still waiting for a decision. Any other engineers waiting?</p>
