Transfer Question - Please Help

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I want to transfer from a CCC to UCLA as a physiology major.. however while at a community college I withdrawn from 2 different courses... then took each course the following semester and passed it.. (they were both science classes) </p>

<p>When reading the UCLA's website I grow rather concern, it reads:</p>

<p>"To enter the Physiological Science major, students must complete Life Science 1, 2; Chemistry 14A and 14B, 14C or 20A and 20B, 30A; Math 3A, 3B, and 3C, or 31A, 31B, and 32A; and Physics 6A or 1A with a GPA of 2.5 or better before Fall of their third year. For all preparation courses, students must complete each course with a grade of C or better. Repetition of more than one preparation course will result in dismissal from the major or denial of admission to the major."</p>

<p>Does withdrawing from a course and taking it again count the same as repeating a course? </p>

<p>I have a 3.72 GPA (3.76 if this semester continues going my way) what are my chances?</p>

<p>Possibly. Did you withdraw from your classes before or after the withdraw deadline? If it was before then the class will not count and will not be seen. </p>

<p>They might be referring to students who stuck out with the class the whole semester, got a bad grade, then retook it. </p>

<p>To be sure though, call and ask admissions or email them your question</p>

<p>To answer your first question, I dropped the classes about half the semester into them. So they both definitely show up on the transcript as “W” or on the UC Application “Wi”… :/</p>

<p>Ya, if the question cant be answered on here i’ll definitely have to give them a call…</p>

<p>I believe you can retake the class that u got a W, and that W will be removed. Not sure though.</p>

<p>At my school it did not work like that. I retook the classes but the previous classes still fully remain on my transcript with a W. Ie: Spring 2010: Chem – W , Fall 2010: Chem – A</p>

<p>^^@Ferrari4XD Nothing is removed from your transcript – ever! The only thing that is altered is your GPA. Your original ‘W’ will still be there. Same if you failed any class and you retook it and earned a higher grade, your failed grade will still be there but it won’t effect your GPA</p>

<p>Just got off the phone with a UCLA admission rep. Looks like repeating a class and getting a (W) and then retaking the class are two different things.</p>

<p>Repetition of a course requires the student to fully complete the class with an unsatisfactory grade ie: D,F</p>

<p>Looks like I can keep my fingers crossed on still getting accepted.</p>
