I know that it has been said that it really does not matter whether you don’t finish your prereqs during the last semester before transferring. However, I am just curious if it will decrease my application.

I intend to transfer UCB Bio for Fall 2018 and I plan to take my last Gen Bio 2 class during my last semester. Will that affect my standing? I heard that TAUs only update Fall’s grades. I was wondering if my last semester will hurt my application in the process.

It won’t affect anything. It will be a planned course and should you be accepted, it’s with the understanding that last class is planned/in-progress and will be completed with a satisfactory grade in accordance to whatever your conditional admittance would dictate.

They’re rather see everything done, but it won’t hurt you.
