Potentially Rescinded Acceptance From Ucla! Please Help!!!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello, I recently got accepted at UCLA for the Fall 2007 term as a Sociology major.
However, I plan to change my major to Political Science and I currently have a 4.0 in all prerequisites for that major except for Statistics. I attend Santa Monica College and our grades aren't due until Wednesday, officially, but there are leeways in checking grades before the said date, i.e. ecompanion and the telephone access system.
My current grades are as follows:
Comp Gov. - A
Pol. Philosophy - A
English 2 -B
and Statistics- D</p>

<p>I wanted to know what I can do to better present my situation so that I don't get my admissions repealed.</p>

<p>Some more information:
I'm a scholars student, i took all my scholars classes in one semester, I had a 3.39 GPA at time of application, I had a lot of leadership, I worked, I volunteered, I'm taking 3 courses over the summer at UCLA, I paid my initial deposit for University Housing, I got my BruinCard, and I signed up for orientation already.</p>

<p>I was hoping another leeway could be the fact that for Political Science majors, UCLA is no longer accepting Statistics as a prerequisite course for Fall 2008. Also, in terms of Stats as a GE, I have already taken Math Analysis and Calculus 1 at a community college and recieved B's in both courses.</p>

<p>ANY HELP YOU MAY OFFER WOULD BE GREAT, and in your opinion, would you as someone reading my appeal let this slide or repeal my admissions?</p>

<p>THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PLEASE HELP!! =(</p>

<p>They normally look at the circumstances of the situation if something like this happens. All I can say is to get in touch with your assigned counselor tomorrow morning and have a good reason for the D. If statistics was included as one of the courses you were required to have completed with a certain grade, then you will def. want to have a reason as to why this wasn't met. Also make sure to ask if you can retake during the summer. </p>

<p>Is SMCC quarter system btw?</p>

<p>its for the fall 08, but you are entering in the fall of 07....</p>

<p>you are going to have to ask if you can take it during the summer; thats pretty much the best thing you can do. Good luck! talk to your counselor asap tomorrow!</p>
