UCLA Philosophy

<p>if u dont take it u dont take it</p>

<p>@asd my point was that berkeley probably has a similar form which will let you contest the classes you’ve taken.</p>

<p>@ MovingUnit
I am just worried how Berkeley is going to react and that I will be unprepared for philosophy at Berkeley, if i am accepted that is.</p>

<p>@beyphy
you mean to contest the philosophy pre-reqs i have taken for other UCs? not necessarily the Berkeley philosophy pre-reqs - cuz Berkeley pre-reqs are not available at my CC.</p>

<p>The prereqs for philosophy are literally offered at like 7 or 8 CCC’s out of 60+. Don’t stress about not having them done; just take a couple phil courses and do well in them. I applied to UCB philosophy with no prereqs done and 2 A’s in phil courses and was admitted.</p>

<p>However, not having any of the 3 major prereqs done would have put me more behind than I already was (spring admit), and I switched to psychology << YES you can switch into impacted majors -within your college- (like L&S); don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.</p>

<p>“…2 A’s in phil courses…” but these are pre-reqs that were not listed on assist.org for UC Berkeley right? were they pre-reqs for other UCs?</p>

<p>The philosophy courses actually weren’t prereqs for Berkeley. I’m not sure if they were prereqs to other UC’s because I applied into psychology at all the other UC’s. Thus, since I applied to UCB phil, they were only courses within the major (more or less to show I was good at phil); they weren’t prereqs.</p>

<p>Hey, just wanted to bump this because my question is along the same lines.</p>

<p>My CC-> UCB/LA/SD agreement for philosophy only says to take 1 of 3 pre-reqs (they are stated as one OR another). I took that one pre-req plus the next step up phil102. A’s in both of them.</p>

<p>Will be applying with a 3.35 gpa, IGETC complete. </p>

<p>Worth applying? Are the avg gpas for phil relatively lower?</p>

<p>Average accepted GPA for philosophy is generally around 3.5. So I’d say it’s certainly worth it to apply.</p>

<p>I’m applying, too, so best of luck to you!</p>

<p>Snizzle, I’ve never heard of such agreement. What is it? </p>

<p>I know UCSD just want symbolic logic (that’s minimum), but other than that I’ve never heard of any department that lets students in with just 1 prereq.</p>

<p>here’s the link to what I saw</p>

<p>[ASSIST</a> Report: MIRACSTA 11-12 UCLA Articulation Agreement by Major](<a href=“http://web1.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=MIRACSTA&ria=UCLA&ia=MIRACSTA&oia=UCLA&aay=11-12&ay=11-12&dora=PHILOS]ASSIST”>http://web1.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=MIRACSTA&ria=UCLA&ia=MIRACSTA&oia=UCLA&aay=11-12&ay=11-12&dora=PHILOS)</p>

<p>That’s really weird. As long as there are no CCs nearby that offer UCLA pre-reqs, I suppose you should be fine. Though if UCLA finds out that there’s another school nearby that does offer those classes, you might get into some trouble (emphasis on “might,” because I really am no authority on the subject).</p>

<p>Hmm interesting.</p>

<p>I was reading up on this a bit. Seems there are only 7-8 CC’s that offer them in all of CA.</p>

<p>Do you think what I did will be alright? I took the option of 102, then chose 101 previously (I enjoyed 101, so did 102 after).</p>

<p>The nearest CC to me is about a 45 minute drive :/… hope that isn’t close enough lol idk if they offer it either.</p>

<p>Oh Snizzle, you still have to show interest in your major. Especially when you’re sub-3.5. Just take a couple of philosophy classes your last semester. </p>

<p>My college offered 3 of 4 UCLA prereqs. But I’ve still taken a few philosophy courses. I’ll be transferring out with about 7-8.</p>

<p>By the way, they gave the UCLA Philosophy page a makeover. I was about to not apply b/c of how ugly it was.</p>

<p>They gave it a makeover? What do you mean? Isn’t the agreement with my CC the page that I should go by?</p>

<p>Sorry, just didn’t understand what you meant ;)</p>

<p>yeah im sure its the page u should go by</p>

<p>You should try to complete the other pre-reqs at another CC.</p>
