only taking 9 units this semester

<p>I am currently enrolled in 13, but I signed up for a programming class for my math major that is just way over my head without dropping down to a lower level of programming first. so once I drop the class I will only be enrolled in 9 units.</p>

<p>**9 units will put me exactly 60 semester units(UC xferrable) completed.</p>

<p>Will taking fewer than 12 cause me to get my acceptance rescinded from the UC's?</p>

<p>stats:
GPA: 3.6
Major: Econ/Math@UCLA quant econ @UCSD math/econ@UCSB econ@ucb
PreReqs: All (except this programming class, now)@UCLA all@others
Essay: good enough</p>

<p>Not having 12 units will not get your acceptance rescinded, but not having your prereqs done will hurt you. Also if you drop it you have to update your application as soon as possible.</p>

<p>math econ at UCLA doesn’t require a programming class…or does it? last time i checked it didn’t.</p>

<p>[ASSIST</a> Report: LACC 09-10 UCLA Articulation Agreement by Major](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST)</p>

<p>It does include a programming class and i believe Irvine requires it for econ as well. </p>

<p>C++ is easy as hell anyways a basic logic class with some foreign language component to it.</p>

5

<p>^ My bad. My CC has no articulated class for programming, that’s why I didn’t notice.</p>

6

<p>I understand code when I read it and I can do basic stuff, but I haven’t done any programming before. no Java or C, etc. so when I goto make my own code I have a hard time. I got through the first 3 projects OK, but the most recent one with arrays void pointers, and setting up columns just threw me and I realize that I won’t be able to pull it off with out taking time away from my other classes. that and I absolutely hate night classes.</p>

<p>I was inclined to do a programming class (for davis) but I thought that I’ll just do it when I’m 99.9% sure that cal and la won’t take me.</p>

8

<p>arrays aren’t too hard if you just read a bit the later parts of c++ is the real fun when you actually do object oriented programming in the sense you get true inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism.</p>

<p>did u take C++ with no other programming classes(or knowledge) prior?</p>

10

<p>It’s perfectly fine to start with C++, especially if it’s just structural.</p>

<p>Though I did start with Java because I took Comp Sci AP in high school.</p>

11

<p>Actually yes but our school is weird in the sense they offer programming in C before programming in C++ in a 2 8 week format. </p>

<p>So it was first 8 week programming in C then last 8 week programming in c++. </p>

<p>The programming in C class has 2 pre-reqs but i didn’t have time to complete them and took the risk and did both 8 week classes with no prior experience except some basic html and xml work but those don’t correlate with c++.</p>

<p>Java basically is the same as C++ in terms of concepts and style just with different syntax. however ucla doesn’t require that. </p>

<p>I do know one hopeful UCLA transfer that i helped out last semester she just came into our last 8 week programming in c++ and with alot of dedication and work i think she got a B. I would say don’t expect an A but if you work with the teacher and go to all the office hours i don’t see why you couldn’t get atleast a B</p>

<p>part time teacher only teaches at night no way to contact him and he doesnt reply to emails. part of my problem lol. and the bastards a hard grader</p>

13

<p>haha way over your head or too much BP? </p>

<p>and to answer your question, no.</p>

14

<p>ya the c++ was way over my head, Im a computer guy and figured I could hack it. Nahhh. lol</p>
