What happens if I get accepted to a UC, but I drop a pre-req course?

<p>I applied to a few UC's as a Computer Science major, and I'll finish all the required classes this semester. </p>

<p>I'm having a lot of trouble with my Discrete Mathematics class. It's online, so there's no instructor to answer my questions, and finding a study group on campus is difficult. And proofs, oh dear God. Writing proofs is killer. I will probably find a tutor soon to help me, though.</p>

<p>I'm just not sure if I can go through with this class. I mean, I've gotten B's and A's in Calculus 1, 2, 3, Linear Algebra, and A's in all my CS classes. I have my **** together and I know how to study, but my confidence with the Discrete class is low. I might be able to get through it with a C, but that's still risky. I'm gonna fight through this class until the very drop date, and if I'm not passing then good-bye.</p>

<p>So, out of curiosity. Let's say I get admitted to some UC, but I drop Discrete. Despite having everything else finished, can they still rejected me on that reason alone?</p>

<p>Yes. They can and most likely will rescind you.</p>

<p>Source: I got rescinded.</p>

<p>You get accepted on the basis that you complete the pre-reqs for your course…the other is not mandatory, but the pre-reqs are. You WILL DEFINITELY be rescinded if you drop the course. No question about it (unless it was a special circumstance, but this isn’t).</p>

<p>I’ve heard a lot of people get rejected because they dropped a prereq course. Some guy at my cc dropped the same class you are having trouble with and got rejected from UCSC. He now has to stay 1 more year just to take discrete math again. You’re going to have to study your ass off and pass that class.</p>

<p>I see. So if I get at least a C, I should be fine right?</p>

6

<p>Yeah, just pass the class and don’t drop it.</p>

7

<p>I would at least try and aim for a B =/ If you can’t maintain a 3.0 or considerably drop your GPA, they might rescind or ask you to send in an explanation as to why that happened.</p>

<p>I’m still going to do my best in the course, and aim AT LEAST for a B. I will probably pass the course, but I’m not sure with which specific grade. I have a 3.2 gpa right now, and I’m quite confident that even if things go south, my gpa won’t drop below 3.0</p>

<p>Does your cc have a math lab?</p>

<p>Please find a tutor! Sometimes you just need a confidence boost.</p>

<p>Well if you get admitted to a UC right now and drop a prereq you might get rescinded, they usually send you something that you must maintain a C or higher in the classes you are already enrolled in. So if you are already admitted just maintain a C or better and SIR instead of risking getting rescinded.</p>
