So I was admitted to UCLA for the fall 2019 school year under the provisions that I receive a “b” in both English 1b (critical thinking) and math 025 (statistics). As final week approaches, Ive come to the realization that achieving that b in stats is out of the question, and In fact I’m failing the class, with only the chance of getting a low C at the most, in all likelihood, a d or even an f. How screwed am I if I’ve got straight a’s in all of my other classes but math? I’m graduating with honors and even made my school’s Eops student of the year, but this math grade is holding me back from even enjoying my accomplishments. I was admitted to 4 other uc’s- SB, SC, SD, and Irvine that only require getting a c. Should I give up on UCLA and give my attention to one of the backups? It just sucks. Math was one of the reasons I dropped out of high school 20 years ago. (im a non traditional student) and for math to be once again holding me back would be quite detrimental to my self-esteem.
I’m going to blunt. Pretty screwed. You should call UCLA now and discuss it.
Question…is this Intro to Statistics and are you using it to fulfill the UC Math requirement? If so your situation is even more severe because you won’t be able to transfer at all with a D or F.
Definitely contact UCLA as suggested above. Also try to do everything possible to raise your grade to a C so if UCLA is no longer an option you still have others.
