<p>Transferring to UCLA in the fall, Iranian Studies major (average GPA of ADMITTED Iranian Studies majors for Fall '04 = 3.18)</p>
<p>I had a 3.42 CUMULATIVE GPA after Fall... did horribly in the Spring (1 A, 5 Cs, 2.33 GPA)...</p>
<p>This lowered my CUMULATIVE GPA to a 3.06, and I reported the changes on June 7th. I said the reason was partially due to a hectic work schedule, and partially due to my own lack of focus (being my last semester at JC).</p>
<p>My provisional contract for admittance doesn't mention anything specific on GPA. It says you should report changes if you changed/dropped any classes that you originally reported, got any Ds or Fs, or if your academic performance drops (obviously, mine did).</p>
<p>They said it would take up to 15 WORKING days to respond on whether or not it will affect my admission...it's been 7-8 working days, but I'm gradually getting more and more worried.</p>
<p>Hopefully some of you have experience with this kind of situation, or dealing with the same thing now... do I have a legitimate reason to be worried? Will I be fine since I got Cs or better in all my classes? Any opinions/info would be great.</p>
<p>Oh, and on the "reporting changes" site...it mentioned that grades should be reported if you got "a D, F, or 3 Cs"...I got 5 Cs.</p>
<p>What I dont remember reading that... Anyway I had to report three classes I dropped not related to ucla and they responded in three weeks not two and it killed me I know what this feels like but they responded via a postcard and said it would not affect my admission but that my admission would not be finalized until I submitted my transcripts. At any rate I dont think your going to be rejected unless your overall gpa dips below a 3.0 so I wouldnt worry but then again do they have people on a waitlist? if they do they change their minds and and admit other students. tough call</p>
<p>"At any rate I dont think your going to be rejected unless your overall gpa dips below a 3.0 so I wouldnt worry but then again do they have people on a waitlist?"</p>
<p>Well my GPA dipped down to a 3.06, so I'm slightly above water there. I have no idea if they have people on a waitlist or not...is there any way I can find out? </p>
<p>Iranian Studies is a very unpopular major, with only 11 applicants and 6 admits in Fall 2004. Would this make a waitlist more or less less likely?</p>
<p>No you cant really find out thats what so messed up and random about it they can choose to reject you and give you some bs excuse. If anything you can appeal your decision but I think the fact that you are an I ranian studies major will have no bearing on whether you get rejected or not because theyre waitlist consists of people with different majors who are borderlin or have issues and or dispcrepencies with the info they reported and their actual stats. With a 3.42 it seems like you just got in so the fact that it dropped even more might be some cause for concern but like I said most people on this forum have reiterated the fact that for UCLA as long as you mainatain above a 3.0 by the start of the fall quarter you should be fine, dont stress it youll be fine.</p>
<p>Treat your "conditions of admission" as a contract. If the conditions you stated in your first post are correct, than you have met your obligations under terms of the "contract"--even with your mediocre final term grades. (No Offense)</p>
<p>I was accepted for xfer admission to UCB, UCD, and UCSD and they all had slightly different conditions of admission--Berkeley's being the most stringent. ("You must complete all UC-transferable courses in progress or planned with an overall B average, with no grade lower than a C. Immediately contact your admissions officer if you will not be able to meet this condition.") </p>
<p>UCSD's were the least strict if I recall correctly--all I needed to to is keep my cumulative above a 2.8 with no stipulation as to what individual grades I got. (I.e. D's F's) Provided, of course, I didn't fail a major requirement or IGETC course.</p>
<p>Bottom line: You should be OK.</p>
