<p>Hello , guys.. I am currently CC student and got a admission letter from UCLA with 4.0 gpa Econ major..</p>

<p>Recently, I found out that I should complete spring courses wth getting all A.</p>

<p>It requires that I have to finish 19 credits with getting all A. </p>

<p>Generally,If we are admitted from UC, we are required C or better,, isn't that right?? One my friends also got in UCLA with same gpa with me, taking both courses and his provision admission contract was required minimum C or better for spring courses.. If I have a course end up with B, would it be hard to be a UCLA student officially?? One more question,, I am taking Biology 101 class and it was choosed as P/NP (pass and nonpass) should I report this course? because it is not based on letter grade. </p>

<p>======below is my contract..=================</p>

<ul>
<li>You must complete the following course(s) with a grade of A or better:</li>
</ul>

<p>A or better? hahah what the heck…how can u get BETTER than an A at CC?!</p>

<p>I would call admissions. Just so you can get an answer straight from UCLA. If the person on who answers doesn’t seem sure of themselves call a different day or send them an email just to be sure. Its better to be safe then sorry. especially in this case.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

5

<p>Can you call them up and ask if they did not make a typo?
They cudv meant C instead of A.
If not, i feel sorry for you</p>

6

<p>I highly doubt they mistyped the letter or something considering they listed the GPA you needed as well.</p>

<p>Where do you see that?</p>

<p>This is the path I took: Decision site>View Admission Contract</p>

<p>“Maintain the grade point average and complete the courses and number of units you reported in your application and in any subsequent course updates. You must be in good standing at your last institution of attendance. Also, if you attended another UC campus in regular session prior to enrollment at UCLA, you must have been in good standing when you left that UC campus. Notify our office immediately of any withdrawals, incomplete grades, drop in academic performance [including any D and F grades], or other changes to your class schedule. [See Contacting UCLA section.]”</p>

<p>I don’t see anything on mine that cites a specific GPA or grade in any specific course other than not receiving any D or F’s. Am I looking at the wrong area?</p>

<p>omg, it’s the weirdest contract I’ve ever seen :\ … you should definitely call them although I think it’s accurate!</p>

<p>@I <3 Cougars: I have the same one as yours, maybe we don’t have that part in our contract, which is lucky!!!</p>

9

<p>So you have to get an A or A+?..an A- wouldn’t suffice?..wow talk about pressure</p>

10

<p>DVC doesn’t have A+ or A-, just A, B, C, D, and F.</p>

<p>[Diablo</a> Valley College - Grade Policy](<a href=“http://www.dvc.edu/org/info/policies/grades.htm]Diablo”>http://www.dvc.edu/org/info/policies/grades.htm)</p>

<p>either way, the pressure of having to get an A to be accepted seems intense.</p>

11

<p>“I don’t see anything on mine that cites a specific GPA or grade in any specific course other than not receiving any D or F’s. Am I looking at the wrong area?”</p>

<p>Each person has a different contract.</p>

<p>And damn you’ve got a hell of a contract. I wish you luck in keeping those grades up. You were probably on the borderline for acceptance.</p>

12

<p>i really think thats a mistake. u should call.</p>

13

<p>hey i have a 4.0 in business economics, and my provisional contract is the normal one, maintain your current academic g,p.a let them know if my grades drop (D,F) etc. But if I get a B my gpa drops…since its a 4.0…does that matter? Should I just call them? Is a B worth reporting in the case that i get one?</p>

14

<p>ouch. I have to get a 3.5 this semester for Davis to keep my acceptance… but ouch. All A’s eek.</p>

15

<p>That’s a terrible contract. UCSC and UCSB said I just have to pass with a C or better in my remaining classes. I’m not sure if Berkeley wants me to maintain a certain gpa or not. I feel worried…</p>
