<p>Hi everyone!
So I am a CCC student who just got admitted to UCLA as a biological sciences major. I'm really worried that my acceptance will be taken back because my grades are suffering this semester. I wanted to know if any of you had a similar experience as I have or have any advice you can give me.
So I got in with a 3.74 GPA with all my prereqs done (including the ones I'm taking this semester)
This semester I am taking 16 units: 2 GEs, ochem with Lab, bio 102 with lab (animal and evolutionary bio)
So far I have an A in all my classes but I'm getting a C in bio. I have a chance of a B but it is highly unlikely considering how much time I have to put to maintain my A in ochem.
Do you guys know if UCLA will take back my acceptance because of the C? I know it's bad since it is my major but I don't know what to do. Should I report my C to them? I can't drop because if I do I can't transfer.
Sorry for the long post.</p>
<p>Can you split the difference and put in the time to get B’s in both? A’s and B’s are generally fine but C’s can be troublesome with GEs or prereqs in the last semester.</p>
<p>Why would you get rescinded? A “C” is a passing grade. What are your admission conditions? Looks like your semester GPA is going to be good despite that C and your overall GPA should still be well above a 3.0. </p>
<p>Quit freaking out! Just don’t get a D and you’re fine!</p>
<p>One C is totally fine, dont scare yourself</p>
<p>The conditions say drop of academic performance(excessive Cs, D or F)
I wasn’t sure if mine would e considered a drop in academic performance. I know it’s one C but it’s my major.
I hope it won’t affect my acceptance</p>
<p>key word excessive… one C is not going to effect you.</p>
<p>OMG you got a C?! Sorry, but you’re going to get rescinded! *sarcasm</p>
<p>Like people said, you’ll be perfectly fine if it’s one C, just don’t let it drop below that for any reason.</p>
<p>As long as your acceptance doesn’t explicitly say you can’t get a C in that course you should be fine. I don’t know how UCLA does it, but UCI has a personalized list of the grades I have to get in each class, couple are “C or better” and couple are “B or better”. Just read your conditions very carefully to be sure. And like other people said, why not study less for Ochem and try for B in both?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the advice! It really helped me out.
I think I’m going to just try and get a B in both as a few of you mentioned.
And for UCLA there isn’t any specific grades that they are saying. It’s just a general provision contract about the excessive Cs and failing.</p>
