"provisional" admission. will they revoke my admisssions?

<p>Hi
I'm quite new to this forum but I have a few questions that I'm dying to know. So, I got into UCLA and UCSD but since the admission is provisional, I'm worried that my gpa last quarter will result in them revoking my acceptance.</p>

<p>Last quarter:
o-chem: C
bio: c
phys: c
diff. calc.: b
cumulative: 3.089</p>

<p>I realize I'm extremely lucky to get in with a relatively low GPA and I'm getting worried. Should the provisional admission be loosely interpreted? A friend told me that we only have to pass our classes with C's (berkeley being an exception) and we'll be fine. Someone please reassure me!!! thanks!</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure the C's will be good for you. NYU told me that as long as I pull off C's for the year i'll be good. Call and ask if your not that sure. I think if you got a D or a F then your in a little bit of a tight spot. Don't fret. and those classes aren't easy.</p>

<p>i think your crazy for taking O-chem, bio , phys and diff calc in 1 semester, so good job on your gpa!</p>

<p>and i am pretty sure for UCSD C's are ok, .. for UCLA ia m not sure but i believe the agreement says "maintain current gpa" ... and i have been wondering about that too, b/c there is no way they would expect you to enter with the EXACT same gpa you applied with. .. so i have been assuming that as long as we pass with a C average we are ok .</p>

<p>anyone else? i'm really desperate to get your advise as the waiting period begins (i already submitted a report for academic change)</p>

5

<p>call them up and ask.</p>

<p>all you can do is wait and see</p>

<p>Last year, one of my classmate got admission revoked from ucla due to his low gpa in his last term. He got like 4 cs and 1 a with 2.x gpa.</p>

8

<p>i have heard of ppl getting their admission revoked to ucla from 1 d, and then going to, of all places, ucsd... lol... so, i think u should be safe.</p>

<p>I would like to know about this involving UCLA too since I think my grades will be slightly below 3.0 (B,B,B,C) this semester.</p>

<p>I just talked to admissions.</p>

<p>Basically, the lady said it depends on the major, so I can only comment on business econ. She said since biz econ is highly competitive it is recommended to keep your GPA as high or higher than your application GPA.</p>

<p>She said this semester will be more strict than usually.</p>

<p>It's important to send in transcripts for this semester ASAP, since it takes 3 weeks for them to respond.</p>

<p>She kinda scared me first, but then I told her my application GPA was a 3.95 and this semester I may get a 3.5 GPA, she then said to try as hard as possible to keep it higher, but 3.5 is still considered a solid GPA and shouldn't jeopardize my admission to UCLA. She also said that it would be obvioulsly to late to go to CAL once the UCLA admission has been revoked.</p>

11

<p>^ that acutally sucks ... b/c bascilly they actually want you to keep it at what you applied with. lucky for me thats only a 3.48</p>

12

<p>whats the point of asking? u can't do anything about it...</p>

<p>if we say no, and they do it, u'll be pretty f u c k ed and surprised</p>

<p>if we say yes, and then they dont revoke it, you will have wasted your time worrying that they will....</p>

<p>just have fun/raise your grades (if possible, if not, accept them) and thats all u can do</p>

13

<p>as long as you pass all your classes with a minimum of C, you are all set for UCSD...SInce you seem to be from a quarter system school, you really dont have to worry as long you have C-'s atleast.....but D and F might get your admissions revoked.</p>

14

<p>Well this really sucks then, can I/should I send two SIRs(one to UCLA and one to UCI)? If I get revoked that means I lose everything.</p>

15

<p>That's also one of my concerns. I don't think you can send in two though, can you?</p>

16

<p>lol no. i doubt you can. sending in two SIRS, is like cheating on your wife...or its like marrying two men on the same day...</p>

17

<p>well you can technically, since sometimes schools ask you to reply at different times; i'm still waiting for usc, but am going to send in an sir to ucsd just in case i dont get to sc.</p>

18

<p>just a quick question...what do you mean by "provisional" admission? Do you mean that actually everyone that is accepted as a transfer to UCs are under "provisional" admission?</p>

19

<p>Maybe it's just me, but when I found out I was accepted to Berkeley, I was anxious to read everything they had to say on MyBerkeleyApp. I mean, I really wanted to. But even if I didn't want to, I still think I'd at least glance over it.</p>

<p>I afraid my admission to ucla will be revoked too. Cuz I might get 2C's and 1B in this semester. sigh:( One of the class I might get C is not a hard class, and I got high B's and A's in the exams, but the teacher is a son of the bit**. I left my assignment at home and I had already told him, but he put zero on my assignment, which is 20 points. sigh.</p>
