Hi everyone,
I got acceptance from UCLA for Fall 2018. My major is Computer Science and Engineering. In my last semester at Community College, I got a “C” for a major prep course which is a C++ course, a “C” for a general course, and I received all “A” for the rest of courses. I am now afraid of getting rescinded because of poor grades. I have reported the grades to UCLA admission, but I am feeling depressed while waiting for their responding. Can someone give me an advice for my circumstance?
There’s no minimum grade listed for the required courses (such as B), so it really boils down to how they feel about it. Did you give them a reason for the downturn from As? Did you SIR to a second campus in case you’re rescinded? I’m not saying you will get rescinded but when something is hanging like this it’s prudent to cover your bases. Keep positive thoughts.
There is a chance you will be rescinded. The CS program is very very competitive and there are plenty of waitlisted students that have awesome apps.
Is there anyone that has similar problem with me and they got the rescinded the admission offer?
@10s4life, You just finished your sophomore year of college. How do you know what the applications of other students contain?
OP, @Gumbymom knows a lot about CA colleges, so she might be able to answer your question.
@austinmshauri I know the general stats for the incoming classes because I work for Ucla as an engineering ambassador which is part of admissions. I’m not just a random student. Hope this clarifies things.
@ShadowChaser8 to answer your question, yes I have seen people rescinded with two Cs. I have also seen others not.
I was hoping you could help me. I am a community college transfer student that applied to UCLA with a 3.67 gpa as a philosophy major. Before I got accepted, I had 4 withdrawals, and two C’s. When UCLA accepted me, I reported a change where I withdrew 2 classes and replaced them with other ones because they did not apply to my major and I found them to be a bit more rigorous, 5 days later they told me my acceptance still stands. In my contract it states that I must maintain my GPA and report a drop in my academic performance (2 or more C’s, D’s, or F’s). Due to family/personal and legal issues, this was not my best semester. I got 4 C’s and 1 A in my last semester community college which dropped my GPA to a 3.39 and I reported it to admissions along with a brief explanation as to why I did poorly. When I checked my portal this morning, my acceptance letter was not there anymore and replaced with “your application is currently under review.” I am worried because in my first academic change, they did not take my decision letter away and I know UCLA accepts more people than they actually should so I’m scared this will be a chance for them to get rid of students. I contacted everyone I could think of and all they tell me is they cannot answer hypothetical situations and to just wait but I am filled with anxiety. Should I be worried???
@undergradstud1 I don’t want to worry you but this is a classic case of an application that is subject to revocation. A 3.67-3.39 is a huge drop. Your best bet is to just sit tight and wait. Applicants are still expected to maintain some kind of academic standard no matter the circumstance. I can’t comment on what might happen as only the AO reviewing your case knows.
