UC to UC Transfer, but i am going to fail a class

<p>Alright,</p>

<p>So i'm stuck here at UCSD, and I am currently a computer science major. I've found a new outlook/inspiration in life and part of that plan involves giving up on this major and taking an easy way out so that i can focus on other "stuff". Probably not the best idea, but i have decided its a risk i want to take. Anyways, enough of my personal story but lets get to my problem.....</p>

<p>I recently transferred to UCSD, and decided to take discrete math over the summer, i ended up getting a "W" because i had other "stuff" which kept me busy and caught my interest. So as a result, i am re-taking that class this quarter at UCSD, sadly I am failing again. So....</p>

<p>I can't get a W (since its limited 1, W per course at UCSD), and I am trying to transfer to UC Riverside so that i can take part in their Business Admin. B.S. program, and there is a 99.9% chance that i well get an F in the discrete math class.</p>

<p>I am applying this month, i think i'll be able to make the "transfer" but i don't think i'll be able to attend if i get accepted due to an F. What should i do? Can i appeal my decision in front of a "board" of people? And potentially persuade them to let me in? By failing the class i should still have over a 2.0, but I'll have an F, so how bad would that hurt me for the transfer? And i'm under the assumption if i fall below a 2.0 that i'm just entirely screwed?</p>

<p>Anyone else been in my situation? or have any helpful advice?</p>

<p>hm…only skimmed through your post but is there any way that you can take the F and retake it during a 4-5 week winter session? </p>

<p>this way your January update will include both your F and your retake. You should really talk to a counselor at UCR or SD.</p>

<p>I don’t know about Riverside, but generally it is very competitive to transfer into “Business Admin. B.S.” programs. I would imagine you’d need a lot higher than 2.0 to be able to do that.</p>
