<p>What’s your major?</p>
<p>@cayton business economics</p>
<p>I await patiently yet anxiously for your answer, oh great one!</p>
<p>@GreatestThe </p>
<p>Hmm, there is a possibility that the admissions contract you’ll be given will stipulate that you must earn straight A’s in your last semester—I’ve seen that happen to people who got admitted to highly impacted majors like yours.</p>
<p>But you might not get that contract. You might not…</p>
<p>Even if you do, you can probably get away with earning a B in Calc II. I’ve seen people in past years get extremely worried about getting a substandard grade or two(Usually C’s…or B’s for those in highly impacted majors) that technically constituted a violation of their admission contract, only to find that UCLA wouldn’t rescind their offer of admission. Of course, if they got a D or an F then that would be very bad news, but usually, UCLA seems to be OK with people getting C’s if admitted to non-impacted majors and B’s in impacted majors, even if the admissions contract implies otherwise. Just try you best to get an A in that class.</p>
<p>What I’m trying to say is that you should relax…after all, you haven’t even been admitted yet! 
If you are and you get that contract and subsequently get a B in your calculus class, just let UCLA know and see what they have to say. They probably won’t rescind your offer of admission for getting a B. Getting a C on the other hand, though…</p>
<p>In any case, good luck!</p>
<p>I was momentarily disturbed when it appeared there were more transfer applicants this year than ever before. Thx for checking @cayton. </p>
<p>It may be some reps were told to be conservative, so instead io saying in five days and get the wrath of God upon them if they’re wrong, they go with 10 days to be safe.</p>
<p>@lindyk8 </p>
<p>It certainly is a possibility.</p>
<p>Thanks @Cayton. I will FOR SURE get a B. I’m at 89% average, but I really don’t see myself getting really high grades, as the professor is tough, doesn’t curve and I have the second highest grade in the class… </p>
<p>Also, what do you think my chances are @Cayton. I dropped out of TAP, because i was advised that it’s only real benefit is an alternate major… which now I’m worried about :(</p>
<p>But I should get in I think… I hope… I wanna die.</p>
<p>@GreatestThe </p>
<p>You shouldn’t have dropped out of TAP. It greatly strengthens one’s application.</p>
<p>Your GPA is excellent, though, and slightly above the average for admitted Biz Econ majors. You can get in without TAP.</p>
<p>And if you think you’ll get a B, then hope for the best and that you don’t get an absurdly difficult contract to abide by.</p>
<p>@Cayton</p>
<p>Do they provide the contracts immediately upon acceptance?</p>
<p>@GreatestThe
Yes.</p>
<p>@Cayton
I think I’m just posting for the sake of posting now because I can’t wait until this weekend now… I’m also a fool for only applying to UCLA and Berkeley as I was so confident… and now here I am shaking like a little girl.</p>
<p>@GreatestThe </p>
<p>If it makes you feel better, Berkeley is a lot less demanding than UCLA often is of its admitted applicants. I believe all students who’ve applied to Berkeley’s College of Letters and Science(Of which the field of economics is a part and presumably you applied to at that school) and get accepted will be issued the same generic contract that stipulates them to maintain a 3.0 GPA and not get any D’s or F’s. That shouldn’t be too hard for you.</p>
<p>With more hopeful acceptances, things just keep getting more confusing. I have no idea what I want to do. Lol </p>
<p>@cayton Does the same thing apply to Haas school of business? I was told it’s really hard to get in, but I wrote a kick ass essay, in which I mentioned creating multiple businesses and being an entrepreneur. </p>
<p>On another note, what are my options if I get denied from both UCLA and Berkeley? Aside for appealing.</p>
<p>@GreatestThe </p>
<p>Ah, you applied to Haas. In that case, I have no idea what their admission contracts are like. I hope you get in.</p>
<p>You have no other options besides appealing as far as I can tell. I hate to say it, but you’ve left yourself with no backup plan. I myself am very certain I’ll get in to UCLA(More than 95% certain) but I applied to four other UCs because it’s always nice to have backup options. Good luck.</p>
<p>@GreatestThe Do you have any backup plans? Other acceptances? As far as the 2 school goes, appealing is the only way to get back in the game, although slim chance…</p>
<p>@GreatestThe
Why no back up schools? Haas is never a safe bet. Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>@ikm291 @cayton No, but the reasoning is that I’m an international student, and I don’t want to settle for an inferior school after working so hard, having such a good GPA(only 1 B out of 71 units). I regret it, but I genuinely believe I’ll get into UCLA. Haas not so sure. </p>
<p>I mean, aren’t I almost guaranteed to get into UCLA Biz Econ with a GPA above 3.93 and transferring from a Community College in LA?</p>
<p>@GreatestThe - With UCLA and UCB nothing is guaranteed I’m sure they have plenty of applicants with high GPA’s 3.9+ going for very selective majors like Biz Econ and in those situations they will weigh the personal statement to see if they want you, bottom line is that they only have so many seats and having your GPA guarantees that you’ll have a very good chance, but until you’re actually there it’s still a chance. </p>
<p>But I’d say you’re in IMO</p>
