<p>Congrats Clue! Is UCSC your first choice?</p>
<p>I thought they only sent out decision between 12 am and 12pm?</p>
<p>Quite a few people got their decisions earlier during the first batch, so I suppose it’s more of an upper bound.</p>
<p>@mermaker Not my first choice but still really happy I got in</p>
<p>@rockigirl I guess not I check throughout the day and I got in around 11pm</p>

<p>Ok guys I have a question.
I just got submitted to UC Santa Cruz for fall 2013 and I have a question about a class that I am taking at a community college. I just need to complete one required class for the major cognitive science. I am wondering if I receive a grade lower than C, does my admission get denied or what are my options I need to look at?</p>
<p>@pupstar90
A D or F will most likely get your offer rescinded. I would talk to them to see if you can get away with withdrawing instead.</p>
<p>@novalord2
So this class I am taking is a required class. So what happens if I withdraw it?</p>
<p>@pupstar90</p>
<p>Probably the same thing if you failed it. If the class is not absolutely needed (some pre-reqs can be taken there) then its better to withdraw than to fail (which is basically an auto-reject). I would ask them.</p>
