Hey Guys,
I’m new here to College Confidential. Im a high school senior and have been admitted as a freshman to UCLA next fall, for pre-Business Economics. I’m immensely concerned about my current senior grades and how they will affect the continuation of my offer of admission to UCLA. I am taking AP Biology and AP Statistics, and I have gotten 3 C’s (per quarter) in those classes so far, (2C+'s in AP Bio and 1 C+ in AP Stats). In my overall year grade, I am expecting a B+ in AP Stats and a C+ in AP Bio. I have already contacted UCLA about whether this will affect my chances but they are unable to give me a straight answer. Does anyone have any experience with this situation and can tell me if I will get my admissions rescinded or not?
What grades did you apply with?
If you have 2+ C’s there is a very high chance you will be rescinded. They cannot say until you earn your grades but be prepared with a backup plan. If you show a significant change from your past (mostly As and Bs) then that will further dig you in a hole. Students who get 1 C are at risk of being removed from the School of Engineering and sent to L&S. I would call an admissions officer and ask before you submit a deposit. Your unweighted average for senior year should also be a 3.0. All Bs.
Are we talking about final cumulative grades? Then if so, I won’t have any C’s. Just a B-. Or does UCLA look at marking periods individually?
I applied with mostly A’s and a few B-'s
They look at the grades per quarter or semester or term depending how your school is.
@10s4life If engineering rescinds an offer, they don’t usually move the student to L&S. They’re just rescinded. Perhaps if the student was a recruited athlete, they’d make an exception, but generally their UCLA offer is just pulled.
@alicantekid Haha you’re absolutely correct. She was a recruited athlete which is why she got the second chance of being moved to L&S. Normally they are rescinded.
Hey man! I’m also doing Pre-Business econ this upcoming fall! I’m in the exactly same boat as you, lmk what you decide on doing.
In my admissions conditions it said I have to report it if I get more than one C and I might be getting 2 Cs this semester. How likely is it that they will rescind my offer of admission if I end up getting 2 Cs?
^^^ After carefully reviewing your entire transcript and looking at the stats of the entering class I’d estimate your chances at 12.7894%
