<p>Ask your questions here! </p>
<p>lol, this should hopefully ease many people’s concerns.</p>
<p>I got into UC Davis and have this question: </p>
<p>Will UC Davis rescind my admission if get a C- in a non prereq class (it’s an IGETC class). If not, what about if I get a D? I have like a solid C, and I’m just trying to think of the worst because I don’t think I did well on today’s midterm. There is still the final remaining, but lately even though I’ve been reading the book and annotating, I keep getting C-'s on these midterms.</p>
<p>I thought the anxiety would end once I got accepted. </p>
<p>This question is popping up in nearly all the decision threads so I thought I’d divert them over here. This way people who haven’t been admitted yet don’t have to bother with them, and it allows people with these questions a greater chance to have them answered instead of being ignored.</p>
<p>I contacted UCSB and UCI early this morning and received replies this afternoon. The UCI/UCSB admissions counselor told me that adding/dropping a class didn’t affect my admission decision as long as they weren’t prerequisites and didn’t affect my 60 transferable units.</p>
<p>So basically, if you are taking an elective, and decide to drop it, it will not affect your admission decision as long as it doesn’t affect your 60 transferable units.</p>
<p>As for dropping major prerequisites, that is subjective. It is up to your admissions counselor to decide how it will impact your admission decision.</p>
<p>UCLA is still up to debate. I, and many others such as Cayton, have yet to receive any response from the counselors. </p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>Yeah, and I wouldn’t expect helpful responses from them either. They love being vague and evasive. In essence, you have to drop the class or get a bad grade in it before they tell you what they’ll do; they don’t entertain “hypothetical scenarios.”</p>
<p>I’m tempted to take a small gamble and drop one of the classes I might get a C in because it’s an elective class that I don’t even need for major, IGETC, or for obtaining 60+ units by the end of the semester. I’m 80% certain that dropping it shouldn’t cause my admission to be rescinded, but you never really know…</p>
<p>Well, from what the UCI/UCSB counselors have said, I don’t think dropping an elective will result in your admission offer being rescinded.</p>
<p>However, this is UCLA we’re talking about, who knows what they’ll do? </p>
<p>@sonic23 Seriously! I’m almost more nervous now. </p>
<p>I went through like 23 pages of “Will i get rescinded/I got rescinded” posts today and the only cases I saw where people got rescinded from UCLA or UCB that didn’t involve failing to report grades were people who dropped a major course or IGETC OR fell below a 3.0. Not that this means anything, but I haven’t seen anyone lose admission over dropping an elective yet.</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>I think they’ll do the same thing. I can’t imagine why they’d be different in most situations. </p>
<p>If I were to drop my native american history class that I might get a C grade in, I’d still be able to transfer with 61 units completed by end of spring. As a philosophy major, this class is useless and has become a bit of a pain now. If I drop it, I’d only have to worry about getting a C in one class, which is OK. The other class I may get a C in is required for IGETC purposes.</p>
<p>I keep telling myself that I should be fine, but I don’t know <em>for certain</em> that this is true. I don’t know for certain…</p>
<p>@credulitykills </p>
<p>That should lessen the risk of heart attacks for many admitted students</p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>Isn’t it too late to drop a course at SMC? If your professor is kind enough to give you an incomplete, that’d be better than getting a C, which would give you extra breathing room to get above a 3.0 this semester.</p>
<p>Oh, and in cases where people dropped a course a few posters said their agreement changed to say earn a B or higher in remaining courses instead of just “maintain GPA.”</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>Nah. The deadline is may 18th according to Corsair Connect.</p>
<p>@credulitykills </p>
<p>Uh-Oh.</p>
<p>Hey guys, does anyone know the answer to the question I posted above?</p>
<p>@Credulitykills yea before i got in i figured i wouldnt get into UCLA now that I got in knoimg that dropping the class might recend my admissiong ia killing me. </p>
<p>My UCLA rep said i should be fine but im afraid whoever reads over admissions changes might just revoke my admissions </p>
<p>And all i want to do is sumit my SIR already! </p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>Are you serious? Drop the course now! I wouldn’t risk getting a C because grad schools factor in your CC GPA in their admission process. 1 W is nothing compared to the damage a C would cause.</p>
<p>Also, this is kind of a radical idea, but have you considered dropping the other “C” class? If it’s AHIS 72, can’t you drop it, get a W, and retake it during the 2nd 8 week semester? </p>
<p>2 W’s, 2 B’s, 1 A sounds better than 2 C’s and 2 B’s. This means you’d be above 3.0 this semester and have no C’s to report.</p>

<p>What does your provisional contract from UC Davis say? Try to avoid getting a D as much as you can. </p>
<p>@ocnative </p>
<p>Condition (1) and (3) concern the issue I’m having: </p>
<p>1) Maintain Academic Performance:</p>
<p>Complete all transferable in progress or planned courses with a GPA of 2.80 or higher, with no grade less than “C,” by the end of your spring term. To achieve the minimum overall UC-transferable grade point average required, you may need to achieve higher than “C” grades. In addition, you must be in good standing at each collegiate institution that you have attended.</p>
<p>Note: You may verify the courses that have been determined transferable by viewing your transfer credit summary at MyAdmissions.</p>
<p>3) Any “D” or “F” Grades and/or Dropped Courses:</p>
<p>If you receive any grade lower than “C,” or drop any course(s), you have failed to meet your conditions of admission and must immediately submit an explanation through MyAdmissions, along with your plans to repeat or make up the course(s). If you have previously informed us of your “D” or “F” grade(s) or dropped course(s) by mail or email, you must still provide an explanation. You may not drop or withdraw from any course(s) reported as “in progress” or “planned” without prior approval. Failure to report any of the above scenarios may result in cancellation of your admission.</p>
<p>EDIT: I called the the admissions office about asking about dropping a class, and she said it’s fine since it’s not a major prereq for me. I forgot to ask about what happens if you get a C- or a D grade tho.</p>
