Provisional Admission Contract

<p>what does the Provisional Admission Contract for ucla say?</p>

<p>don't exactly remember...but along the lines of keeping your grades up... reporting any changes...basically, if you screw up between admissions and beginning of fall quarter, then UCLA reserves the right to rescind the offer.</p>

<p>what do u mean screw up between admissions and beginning of fall quarter and by grades, what kind of gpa do u mean</p>

<p>it says get at least a 3.0 for your cumulative senior year gpa or your admissions will be in danger of getting rescinded.</p>

<p>ya with no more than 2 C's per semester</p>

<p>3.0 uw btw</p>

<p>good, i only have four uc classes, so if i get two a's and two c, i will be fine right?</p>

<p>its not by uc classes anymore.</p>

<p>its all your classes....</p>

<p>no way, where did u find taht information</p>

<p>i go to UCLA.</p>

<p>just wait and see when you get the contract.</p>

<p>When you say no more than 2 C's per semester, what exactly does that mean?</p>

<p>Senior year = 2 semesters.
1 semester = 2 quarters.
Say I'm taking 3 classes a semester. That would mean 3 letter grades per quarter, amounting to 6 letter grades per semester (2 per class). So the no more than 2 C's per semester means that out of those 6 grades, 2 of them can be C's and the rest have to be B's or better? </p>

<p>Or would the policy imply that I would only receive 3 letter grades per semester (1 for each class)? (It's hard to arrive at an overall grade if one gets a B in the first quarter of a class then a C the second quarter)</p>

<p>quarter grades are irrelevant.</p>

<p>nobody ever sees them besides your parents.</p>

<p>so you'd get three letter grades per semester, but if you get 2 C's, that's below a 3.0, and your admissions will be in danger of being rescinded.</p>

<p>Hmm, I don't even know how that works for my school. We use the quarter system, but it's a 4X4 schedule, so we get 16 grades a year that are accepted by the UCs and other schools. To further complicate that, the AP's are year round, but technically two classes, so for example, Chemistry:
Hon. Chemistry 1 (Q1)
AP Chemistry 1 (Q2)
AP Chemistry 2 (Q3)
Hon. Chemistry 2 (Q4)
Does that mean that the Q1 and Q2 grades would be Sem1 grades for each of those classes respectively? Argh at my school's convoluted grading system ><</p>

<p>Ask your guidance counselor?</p>

<p>How do I find my semester grade if my school only gives quarter grades? At the end of this semester if I get a B on the first quarter of a class then a C on the second quarter, what is my overall grade for that class this semester? The report card will give both grades, not an overall.</p>

<p>And I know a C, C, B is a 2.3 GPA, but UCLA does cumulative, and I got a 4.0 last semester. Currently I have a 3.3, but a B- in ap gov.</p>

<p>Peppers:</p>

<p>Actually, my high school had a system similar to yours...quite confusing. We were on a "block" system with four quarters a year and some classes were on alternating quarters while others were all-year-round. Also, some of the classes were two hours, others were one. :confused: yet?</p>

<p>mariopuzo:
Fuuuuuuuuuuuccck, how sure are you (about all courses)?</p>

<p>what are you talking about.</p>

<p>it's two C's per semester (duno about schools on the quarter system)</p>

<p>BUT, an additional provision is that you maintain a 3.0 or higher.</p>

<p>if having two C's means that you get below a 3.0 UNWEIGHTED, regardless of the type of class you are taking, you have breached your contract and are subject to dismissal.</p>

<p>plus....cmon guys....it really isnt that hard to maintain a 3.0 in high school. spend less time stressing and use that extra energy to maybe do well on a couple tests.</p>

<p>That all courses (not only a-g) are counted; that's the first time I've heard anyone say that.</p>

<p>i hope that's the case, cause i only had 5 classes, so i got a 3.0 uw with all courses, or a 2.67 uw a-g courses only</p>

<p>fortunately, i have actually been doing much better this semester</p>

<p>all courses ARE counted.</p>

<p>your cumulative gpa in ALL courses must be 3.0 or higher, with no more than 2Cs per semester.</p>

<p>which actually makes it better for those of you with more classes......less likely that those two C's are going to drop you below that margin.</p>
