<p>Hi everyone I have a problem and was wondering if anyone would help me.
(I have posted this in another section as well, hoping to get an answer soon)</p>
<p>I recently got accepted to UCLA, (to my disbelief).
I was very excited because I didn't think I would get accepted in the first place.
But my happiness was short lived.</p>
<p>Recently, I have come to the senses that neither UCLA nor UCSD would accept me (Low Sat Score 1700s) , so I had planned on going to a CC and hopefully transferring from there to a school like UCLA or USC. Knowing this I decided to drop my Drama, AP Biology and AP Calculus class ( I was struggling with AP Calculus), in hope of finding a job and being able to pay for CC myself, but in this economy I was unsuccessful, so I have been working at my dad's buisness (Small Store) since the economy has gone into a rescission business hasn't been so good, so I've been working one of the old worker's shifts. I was just wondering when I report the change to my classes to UCLA would they attempt to void my acceptance? I have never gotten a C or lower, and my GPA is probably a 3.95- 4.1 (just estimating) I still retained 4 classes my schedule is as follow:</p>
<p>Spanish 3
AP Government
AP Literature
Service (Teacher's Assistant)
Home
Home</p>
<p>The reason I have home periods is because I couldn't find a job in time to get Work Experience. My I have A's in my APs and an A or B in Spanish 3</p>
<p>My Grade for my 1st semester was as follow:</p>
<p>Spanish 3: B
AP Government: A
AP Literature: A
AP Biology: A
AP Calculus: B (Barely)
Drama: B (Confusion?)</p>
<p>What should I do?
Thank you very much for any help you could provide or advice.
I might now sound like it, but I really and excited and I really feel like an idiot.</p>
<p>Get all of the documentation that you possibly can and explain clearly to them what happened (your explanation above was pretty good). Unless you're shy or something, make sure you do it over the phone or something to help emphasize that you are a person, not some numbers and a few essays. I think that what you did was reasonable, if not exceptionally smart, and they shouldn't rescind your admission.</p>
<p>It might be a good idea to sign up for the AP exams that you dropped classes for (either at your school or another) to prove that it's not because you were trying to ease your load.</p>
<p>Congratulations on getting into UCLA!!! I didn't...you're making me jealous haha. I hope everything works out.</p>
<p>Apparently, it's rare that they rescind.. but it could happen. What you should do is go to the decisions site and click on the provisional contract button. There, you should know what to do. Tell me what happens! I'm interested to know. We might see each other in the future ;)</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies, it helped put my mind at ease, I will give them a call (there admission adviser offices opens at 1pm and is open until 4pm) hopefully I can get someone on the phone and explain my situation. And hopefully I'll be seeing your around campus. Thank you again for the replies and if anyone else wants to contribute there advise it would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>based on your grades, it doesnt seem like u were really struggling with your classes...however i agree with dkbear, take the Ap's and tell them that...</p>
<p>That's odd. My friend has low SATS around 1650 and was accepted into UCLA.</p>
<p>Tho we're both taking 3 AP classes and no fourth period. </p>
<p>They shouldn't rescind you without any valid excuse.</p>
<p>They might of saw that your course load was weak for a senior that was accepted to UCLA and that implied that you were "slacking" off.</p>
<p>As the posts above me have said, write a letter explaining your issues and why, still sign up for the AP exams if you still can (i don't think you can since AP testing starts really soon) and call them up also to emphasize your reason.</p>
<p>UCLA wouldn't do something this drastic just because of low SATs.</p>
<p>Most likely, again, its your course load that they thought you were taking an "easy way out" for senior year.</p>
<p>Don't worry! Tell them your reasoning and you should be okay!</p>
<p>Thank you for the replies, helped me alot!
I tried to Log-in to the freshman provisional page to notify them and it wouldn't work, when I called the advisers they told me that every case is different and they don't know what will happen, and unfortunately the site only allows you to report changes online. I'll try to remind myself that everything will be ok. </p>
<p>It is rare to rescind an acceptance letter - although your case would be prime for that. The application clearly states that you have to maintain your current coursework, and any significant change would be subject to review. </p>
<p>Why would it matter? Since you said you are planning on going to a CC. Did you change your mind and plan to go directly in? Is it too late to transfer back into those courses?</p>
<p>Most admissions don't look at your final semester. And unless you screw up royally, they don't care what courses you take. And yes- call up a counselor and explain your situation. Most will understand. And keep your fingers crossed.</p>
<p>It's rare to be rescinded, but they REALLY hate it when people drop classes (especially APs). The fact that you dropped more than one could prove problematic (and, not to be rude, but it waasss pretty stupid). Just explain your issue the best you can, and perhaps even suggest or promise to take some of that coursework over the summer. It's not the most ideal situation, but you made a pretty big mistake and that may be what's necessary.</p>
<p>I do wish you the best of luck though, and hope to see you on campus in the fall.</p>

That's completely false; all admissions check your last semester (which is why you have to submit final transcripts).</p>
