<p>I just called their admission counselor about me completing the math and english requirement next spring and she told me they will only offer conditional admission to students with high gpa 3.7+ and they will not offer admission to the rest without finishing them in fall</p>

<p>Disappointing but I will try to find another school</p>

<p>For those of you who have all the requirements met good luck with your applications</p>

<p>That would go for all CSUs and UCs… completing math and english is a requirement. If you don’t have them completed by a certain deadline (for CSUs by the end of Spring, not sure about UCs), then you’re automatically denied admission.</p>

<p>Wow, interesting.</p>

<p>Next spring? didn’t you apply for fall 2014 admission?</p>

<p>What happened Is that in prior years people of humanity majors (even with GPA’s ) could not pass transferable math…</p>

<p>The UC’s think there is a sufficient risk that you will not pass transferable math on your first try. it is always recommended that students complete their transferable math course in the fall, when they apply.</p>

<p>@smltk1505h: Yea I applied for next fall but I was going to complete the math and English requirement this spring</p>

<p>@Dagoberto: I don’t know about that but I’ve taken a transferable math this winter and dropped it and most topics were basic, you gotta be a bad student to not pass it with a C…I’ve already taken intermediate algebra but its not transferable</p>

<p>^ C in math will prob not get you into UCSB.</p>

9

<p>It probably will get him/her into UCSB, just depends on how many C’s the OP has.</p>

<p>Let me give everyone an inside scoop, not having transferrable is not an automatic disqualification.</p>

<p>But, from a ucsb’s admissions office Point of view:
2 students apply to the same major with an identical GPA then the student that already completed transferable math and English is going to have an advantage over you. The way you compensate is that you need a higher GPA , better personal statement, EC’s, work, ect for you to get admitted.</p>
