<p>so im applying to transfer this semester from a ccc.
im doing tap with ucla, as a math major.</p>
<p>my question: i am considering taking 3 very hard classes in the spring (linear algebra, physics of elec and magnetics, and physics of thermodynamics); just to be safe.. what is the minimum grades ive got to get in order to ensure my acceptance wont get revoked.</p>
<p>if i get B's in all 3, can i possibly be revoked?
what if i get one or a couple C.. please let me know</p>
<p>A C or two will hurt you. You just need to be consistent with your GPA. I'm guessing that you haven't really gotten many if at all any Cs since you're in UCLA's TAP. A C in the spring would be inconsistent.</p>
<p>well if i get accepted and get B's in all 3 classes, can i possibly be revoked?</p>
<p>We can't really tell you the answer to that. The bottom line is that you should just keep your GPA as consistent as possible. Any major drop off will throw up a red flag.</p>
<p>Also, I don't understand (and I know this doesn't apply to the OP) why people consider slacking off their last semester. Grad schools and employers look at the entire GPA.</p>
<p>but isnt there a minimum requirement of grades you need to get in your spring semester. i heard cal just requires a 3.0 in spring, correct me if im wrong. anyone have any idea bout ucla</p>
<p>for Berkeley it is a 3.0...not sure about UCLA but I would imagine it being similar</p>
<p>so for berekely.. say i get admitted; if i take 4 classes (16 units) in the spring. say i get
B (5 units)
B (5 units)
A (3 units)
C (3 units) </p>
<p>which would give me a 3.0 am i still guaranteed admission? (same for ucla)?</p>
<p>Ask an admissions rep. Getting a borderline 3.0 is really pushing it, though. What will be your GPA up until the spring? </p>
<p>BTW, why would you take thermodynamics and E&M when you're a math major? Are you gonna switch majors once you're admitted?</p>
<p>for ucla i have to take e&m and i have an option between general chem and thermodynamics. itd be better for me to take thermodynamics considering im applying as engineering to other schools but just for math at ucla i can take e&m and gen chem (still havent decided whether chem or thermo).</p>
<p>gpas about a 3.5 and ive taken 100 units</p>
<p>KingInc... I didn't know you were applying as an intended engineering major... i would be really careful w/ the gpa for that type of intended major.. some schools have strict gpa guidelines for engineering.. i am in L&S & our gpa had to be at a 3.0 for the spring semester right before I transferred but your department might be completely different... you'll definitely know once your accepted because the requirements listed will tell you what you need in order for your acceptance not to be rescinded</p>
<p>If I were you I'd take American Popular Culture and Music Lit or something in that semester along with those 3 classes. It would make things feel a little easier GPA wise.</p>
<p>just finish strong and stop thinking about the "what if's"</p>
<p>luvtoolearn, im not intending to major in engineering.. im hoping to major in math at ucla. however a 2nd option if ucla somehow doesnt work out would be engineering at sb or sd, but my first option is math at la.</p>
<p>cooldude, im afraid that taking those 3 classes would consume all my studying time. plus i already have over 100+ units.. would be a real waste of time i think.</p>
<p>oh, ok... then you should be fine..... btw.... are your 100+ units semester or quarter?</p>
<p>I'm guessing quarter units.</p>
<p>BTW, if you really want to major in math then why do you have engineering for your backup schools? If you don't feel confident you can do well in thermodynamics and E&M, what makes you think it'll get any easier once you transfer into a UC engineering program?</p>
<p>luvtoolearn, its 100+ semester units...</p>
<p>sleeper, i never said i dont feel confident doing well in thermodynamics/e&m. i just am not confident that i can pull off a 4.0 taking linear algebra, thermodynamics and e&m in the same semester. i mean its possible, but im just wanting to know what happens in case i dont do well.</p>
<p>I think you're fine. If they accept you, they already know at that point that you've worked hard enough there. As long as you don't tank you'll be in. So I would assume anything from 3.0 and above is good enough. Though don't relax on it just try to and keep it above that, start worrying if you dip below.</p>
<p>i see, is there any gpa ucla states on their website or something?</p>
