So I tagged to UCI for comp sci and was accepted but I’m now taking a physics 2 class that I will probably be dropping with a “W.”
Does anyone have any experience whether or not his will affect my admission decision or when I will find out if my admission is revoked? This class isn’t part of my major prerequisites and I will still have well over 60 credits after dropping I had already messaged the admission counselor on UCI regarding this but they just gave a vague response about how they woudln’t know until they got my final transcript.
Also, I had a course planned for summer originally that is also not part of my major prereqs. Would dropping that summer course affect anything? I’m fine with taking this class over the summer but not having to take any classes over the summer would be great.
i think youre fine as long as you dont drop your major prereq
I tagged UCI for SE, dropped physics with W, updated the TAU and still got admitted. You’re fine as long as you dont drop below the unit requirement
Fall 2019 CS TAG transfer here. Dropping a course that is not required for the major will not affect your admissions decision. A science sequence is not required for the CS major at UCI. As long as you meet the conditions in your contract, you should be fine. I asked a counselor at UCI about dropping linear algebra (an additional course for the major, not required) and they said I would be fine.
You should also ask the counselor about the summer course, too. If it’s not a required course for the major, I’m pretty sure you can just report a change in your course schedule through the message center on the MyAdmission portal and not worry about it being dropped. To get a decent response out of your counselor, ask your question explicitly, something along the lines of “Would dropping (this specific course) that I plan on taking over the summer which is not a major prerequisite affect my admissions decision?”.
Yea I asked the question pretty much exactly like you said and they just said they wouldn’t know till the final transcripts were sent and my admission was finalized.
I’m just going to report the change in the message center and hope everything goes well. I still have not actually dropped this class just in case they tell me my admission will be affected.
Also, if its dropped with a “W” do I need to do anything other than report it as dropped? The course change report doesn’t have a W selection.
