@npound You can send them your winter grades through March. Fill out Transfer Academic Update in Jan, then update later. It remains open through most (if not all) of March, and then send each UC the winter grades via each portal because starting in early March, they may or may not look at the TAU. They don’t calculate winter into the GPA, but often take it under consideration. Many one-years get in. Ideally, you took a couple of courses in the summer so they have about 7 courses to work off of by end of fall. Of course, sending the winter may help in that regard.
For psych at UCLA, the more major courses completed by fall the better, with maybe just 1-2 left in spring at most. Having said that, your AP proves you have the chops, so in the end, it’s anyone’s call.
Hi @Ohm888 thank you for the reply! I know that they sometime don’t consider winter quarter grades so should I just take the chem prereq during spring instead? If I take it in winter will it look better because I’m taking it earlier?
@Ohm888 Yes, chem is the only prereq left I have to do for my major which is psychology. I finished the other prereqs this quarter right now and I finished some through AP testing. The rest of my classes are for IGETC and to hit the 90 units I need.
@npound as i’ve said, it seems that leaving 1 prereq for spring is fine. It’s impossible to give you a 100% certain answer tho cuz obviously this whole process is very subjective and rather inconsistent.
@npound if i am being completely honest, i would save chem for a longer semester where you have a better chance of succeeding with better professor. winter started last week; did you end up going with winter?
@8CLAP4SUP Ya I’m in the class right now but my winter session at my school is the same length as the other quarters. I’m just worried that I won’t do as well in Chem as science isn’t my strong suit. So I was thinking if I took it in Spring they might not ask for the grade or it won’t have as much weight because sometimes I know the UC’s do consider winter grades.
