UCSB Econ & Accounting Pre-Major Requirement

<p>I'm planning on applying to UCSB this November. I have finished my TAG (not submitted yet) and I have all the requirements completed.</p>

<p>However, on Assist, it states that to be admitted into the Economics and Accounting Pre-Major, you must have a commutative GPA of 2.75 in one microeconomics course, one macroeconomics course, and one of the two options; one calculus course and one statistics
course or two calculus courses.</p>

<p>My first year of college, I was a complete idiot, got all Cs, and happen to take micro, macro and stats. However after my first year, I have almost a perfect academic record.</p>

<p>The Issue is that if they take the "one stats and one calculus course" I will not meet this requirement. However, i'm taking a second calculus course now, if I get an A in this course , and they instead take the two calculus courses I WILL meet the requirement (cumulative will be like 2.9).</p>

<p>My question: Do they take the better one? If I don't get an A, what are my option? Can they admit me and allow me to retake an economics course at UCSB?</p>

<p>I think it's stupid that they don't include managerial and financial accounting courses into this pre-major requirement. Both if which I have A's in :)</p>

<p>Thank you guys for the help in advance</p>

<p>You will most likely be guaranteed admission but you may have to appeal to the school about getting into the actual major once you are there, and yes they take the better one or both in fact. They prob wont readmit you into micro and macro there, your just gonna have to review it yourself. And at my school they dont include financial and managerial as pre-reqs but suggest you take them, probably the same with your school.</p>

<p>I understand about the C’s they really mess you up, i screwed around first year as well and im regretting the C in my stats and sociology class. I cant believe how lazy i was and was such a procrastinator. b=But i think UC’s admissions likes seeing improvement so more than likely your in if all pre-reqs are done and IGETC.</p>
