<p>Hi guys.Here's my situation,I applied for fall 2012 for UCD,UCSC,UCI,UCSB.My GPA is 3.235.I haven't received any admission yet.I'm not doing well in my chem and biology class,very possible to get D for both classes.If so I will not be in the good standing,now I'm very struggling wether to drop or not.If I drop I'll fall below 60 units.If I don't I will be in bad standing.I'm seriously planning to drop the classes,retake the class, increase the GPA and reapply for fall 2013,I'm not sure if this is the best strategy? What if I get any admission? Any suggestions?Thanks</p>
<p>Sorry for the spelling error for “spring”</p>
<p>I’m kind of in a similar situation, wanting to graduate/transfer with an A.A. I don’t know what your major is or how this applies to the UCs. The counselor at my school said it’s better to get a “W” than “D” or an “F”. You can explain a W but you can’t explain a bad grade and it makes you look bad as a student.</p>
<p>Can you withdraw now and take it in the summer? But, honestly, I don’t think your Spring grades are taken into consideration for your admission.</p>
<p>Thanks for replying.I think the spring grades do affect the admission.My major is environmental study.My current CC doesn’t provide these two classes during summer.So frustrating!</p>
<p>Well, you do need to keep a minimum passing grade for spring semester. They can rescind your admissions…</p>
<p>If you won’t have the 60 units, then doesn’t that void one of the basic requirements of UC admissions?</p>
<p>It’s possible to withdraw from a class without causing your application to be rescinded. I withdrew from a class this spring and it didn’t affect anything (for UCSC), but I had a good reason for taking a W (poor grade and the class didn’t count towards anything meaningful).
Nonetheless you still need to meet the conditions of admission, though there are always exceptions. Email each school’s admissions office. In general I’ve found them to be very helpful. Also speak to a counselor at your own school, they might know someone to contact directly at a specific UC.</p>
<p>I also agree with the above posters. W’s look better, and they don’t factor into GPA calculation.</p>

<p>I am also in the same boat, if you are accepted, its generally on a case my case basis, but once you find out if you get accepted, you should contact admissions right aways, because they will tell you your plan of action, the rather know ahead of time instead of getting a “surprise” when they receive your transcript, When I called, they told me to email me them with whats going on and so I did and now I am just waiting for them to tell me my best route in the case that I do get a D in my course…it really sucks because we worked this hard, and finally get accepted and to know that everything could all be in jeopardy…</p>
<p>But dont tell the school that you might get a D before you get your acceptance letter, though unlikely, this may effect their decision…but its really unlikely, just contact the school once they say yes, because they can just Deny your admissions, they have to do a process…</p>
<p>hopefully we pass and everything all works out for us…</p>
<p>@assassin you’re advice is pretty misleading.
I’d say try to pull out with a C if you’re trying to transfer this year. Otherwise just drop the courses and do it all over again.</p>
