<p>Up to now I have yet to obtain a C in any class. This semester I may recieve 2 C's. However, I will still be able to maintain a 3.0 unweighted. Will this cause my admission to be rescinded because I have dropped from my standard fairly high GPA in my past years? UCLA says to complete the courses w/ the same high standards as I was admitted under... so will getting C's, something I have never done before, cause them to rescind?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Damn 10 chars.</p>
<p>Fast answer: No
They dont really care unless if you do really poorly.</p>
<p>Oh wow...even though I didn't complete my grades w/ the same standards?</p>
<p>Do they check the 6-week progress notices or just the end of the semester report card?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you just send them your transcript at the end of the year and they see all your grades that way.</p>
<p>There is 0.000001% chance that your admission offer could get rescinded. </p>
<p>No, make that more like 0.0000000001%</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>because of the legal issue that surrounds the admission offer and the acceptance of the offer by making that deposit by May 1st.</p>
<p>For instance,if UCLA indeed rescinds your admission offer, you have a right to sue the school for "poor wording" in their offer of contract.</p>
<p>Whenever a person who drafts the contract, in this case the admission offer by UCLA, and uses a vague language as was used in this case, the court will always favor against the person who drafted the legal document. In other words, you will win this case because UCLA should be liable for creating confusion by using such poorly worded legal language.</p>
<p>Then why is this a poorly written contract?</p>
<p>because of a lack of clear criteria as to evaluate the "standard".</p>
<p>Would B- be enough? What about C? What about C+?</p>
<p>If UCLA goes by the threshhold of 3.0, there would be a hanfdul of students who wouldnt make the cut. Ditto for if UCLA opts for "a number of Cs" or "lack of appropriate number of APs"</p>
<p>By applying the wordings of the contract too literally,UCLA runs the risks of triggering mass number of lawsuits. A big NoNo for a public school. After all, those students whose admission offer would get rescinded have a very good argument on their side, such as "hey you didnt specify what would constitute "maintaining the same standard". If the margin of the "same" standard is 0.1 GPA, you will have many, many students whose offer would get rescinded. If the margin is 0.5, there would be some as well. So UCLA would be in a very delicate situation to come up with some compromising strategy of making the cut off seem "more favorable". </p>
<p>Unless you get D or F in core classes (math, English, science), you dont have to worry.</p>
<p>And even if you get D or F in those classes, UCLA will give you a chance to explain your case. </p>
<p>For your information, my classmate back in 1995 got D in AP English(!), but it turned out to be all right as he went to pursue his BA at UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>Prior to this, he was all A students.....ever since he was 7th grade.</p>
<p>So dont worry about this, and just go out and enjoy your day.</p>
<p>I am sure you have more exciting things to do in your life than worrying about the worst possible scenario. :)</p>
<p>I think you don't have anything to worry about unless you get many bad grades. 1 or 2 Cs shouldn't be much of a worry.</p>
<p>My roomate got a D in his math class last semester of his senior year. They still didn't care</p>
<p>Yeah - there is zero chance that 2 Cs will affect your admission - I think they said you have to report it only if you get a D or an F or if you fall below 3.0 unweighted. There might be another stipulation about 3 or more Cs, but I forget about this one.</p>
