What the Freshman Provisional Contract actually means

<p>dimedropper, the office actually looks at transcripts and counts out the number of C's you had for senior year and if you had more, they DO note it.</p>

<p>Could you be more specific, cocoa, as to yearly Cs or semesterly Cs?</p>

<p>Sent out email #3. I hope those people at UARS don't hate me like no other for this >_>;;</p>

<p>hmm anybody know when on average how many days they take to reply via email? Because I emailed them two days ago and only received the "Thank you for contacting, we will reply 3-5 days" thing...</p>

<p>I'm so anxious!</p>

<p>I got my first email back within 2 days, second within 2 days, and third in a week -_____- This one might take a bit too</p>

<p>I'm in a similar boat, but maybe not as severe, I'm not sure.</p>

<p>I got in and have sent in my SIR as an OOS student, but in my third quarter, I got a C in my two credit physics class, and a C in my Statistics class. In Statistics, I had an A the first quarter with a dropping grade from some serious senioritis, and in my Physics AP class, I'm set with a B average for the year no matter what I get on my final (same for the Stats class). My question is, does the two credit physics class count as 2 C's? It only takes up one slot on my report card, and I've already recieved my housing offers and stuff. Am I in danger of getting my acceptance rescinded, and when would I find out?</p>

<p>My GPA for this year will be a 3.33, regardless of what I get on any of my finals, so should I be worried, and if so, what should I do?</p>

<p>so what do they mean by this “If you are taking college or university courses post-high school graduation, we expect you to earn a 3.0 or higher unweighted GPA in these courses” Can it be interperted as you need to get 3.0 or higher in the AP classes, let’s say if you are only taking one then you need to get a B in that class, and if you are taking two then a C and an A will be fine.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>AP classes are not post-high school graduation…</p>

<p>Im not in any danger, but I was just curious about something. </p>

<p>Say you do screw up and get 3 or more Cs. What actually happens? Whats the consequence of your application being “flagged”? Do they just make another contract with you for the first quarter or do they kick you out completely? The latter would seem rather heartless, since all the colleges with potential under UCLA have pretty much locked in their applicants. Only other option for someone in that position would be community college or something.</p>

<p>Well from what I heard … if you get 3+ Cs but still maintain other parts of the contract (like maintaining a 3.0 GPA unweighted and no grades like D or F), then you’re fine. Some people might need to take some summer courses in the classes they got Cs in, but they will still let you in. Most people get rescinded not because of one condition from the contract, but because of violations in two or more of the conditions. Basically the conditions are:

  • Maintaining a unweighted 3.0 GPA for the year.
  • No grades lower than a C (No Ds or Fs)
  • No more than 3 Cs
  • No schedule changes without legitimate reason (like dropping AP Calc just because it’s way too hard or you hate the teacher).</p>

<p>So as long as you don’t violate 2 or more of those conditions, they will still let you in.</p>

<p>So I’m most likely being paranoid, but I just want to check.</p>

<p>As long as you meet the requirements for the UC you got admitted into, in my case, UCSD, you’re fine right? (get a weighted 3.0 uc gpa for senior year, get no grade lower than a C)</p>

<p>What is it with this 3 C’s thing? It shouldn’t apply to UCSD right?</p>

<p>Cuz I had 2 C’s the first semester, and this semester, I have 2 more potential C’s, which I could raise, but you know I just want to make sure, to get this off of my chest.</p>

<p>I dropped a non college prep class(web design) midway in the first semester, and im assuming a W will show up on my transcript. I never put the course on the UC application since it wasn’t UC approved. Should i notify UCLA about that dropped course? or will they not care about non college prep classes? thanks</p>
