<p>Hey @Cayton we’ve shared a few PMs before! Glad to see you’re accepted to UCLA for philosophy as well!
I’m kind of in the same boat as you guys. My situation is that I just have this totally unrelated class that I’ll most likely get a C or worse and at this point would just like to drop it since it’s so demanding with none in return. The rest of the classes that I have is fine. I’ve only talked to UC Davis about it and they said that since I already fulfilled the minimum requirements, dropping that class wouldn’t matter. It might be different with UCLA :-S </p>
<p>@snowbosan9 </p>
<p>Congrats, and I remember you! You should contact UCLA about it, but I have the feeling that they’ll be OK with it since others have done it before without getting rescinded.</p>
<p>feaojs;ldk removing what I said</p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>I enjoyed your posts and saw many people get encouraged by your kind comments.
I hope everything goes well! </p>
<p>@marcuscolon </p>
<p>Thanks, I appreciate it!</p>
<p>@cayton, I don’t think they’ll rescind you so long as you let them know, and do not get a D, and try to get higher than a C in your major courses. Either way, your overall GPA is still very high. I’ll be in contact with UCLA soon, and i’m gonna try to clarify the general contract terms. If I hear anything valuable, I’ll let you know! Btw thanks for being so helpful to everyone on CC!</p>
<p>My situation is that I put 2 classes as PL during the TAU and ultimately did not get into them. I forgot about them and didn’t notify the UC’s. They have nothing to do with my major, and don’t really help me complete IGETC either (they’re in areas that I have already finished in IGETC). Do you think they’ll rescind me for that? </p>
<p>@ivelosthope </p>
<p>They might, but probably not. If you can still complete 60+ units by the end of the semester, I think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>And I’m done with my major courses. I’m just taking electives this semester and one more class for general education. That should help, right?</p>
<p>@cayton, yeah if they’re just electives then it shouldn’t be too much of a big deal. If anything, you can even drop a class to maintain a high GPA or get less than 2 C’s. </p>
<p>Last year someone that I know got accepted to UCLA. She received a D in one of her classes(not sure if it was major or not) and did not let them know, she just waited until transcripts were suppose to be sent. She called admissions and they were like if she called them before hand and let them know they would’ve just told her to take the class over the summer and everything would’ve been fine. Moral of the story is that you have to be completely transparent with them. The key to everything is communication. Just call them let them know your situation and everything will be fine 
</p>
<p>@ivelosthope </p>
<p>Thanks. I may just do that if necessary.</p>
<p>@nechronix </p>
<p>Most definitely. I’ll keep UCLA updated on my academic history as much as they believe and say is necessary.</p>
<p>Your mistake is still technically in the hypothetical. I mean chances are you could maintain B’s in all your classes. I know my mistake on the application isn’t really a big deal. I mean - come on, a single credit, non-transferable, oneweekend class that I got an A in shouldn’t be a big deal, but I still get the feeling ■■■■’s gonna go south 
If you get your admission rescinded @Cayton , all of us on UC Transfers board will protest with you. </p>
<p>CAAAAAAYTAAAAAAAAAWN OR BUUUUUUUST</p>
<p>@onehandedred </p>
<p>Thank you for the kind words and I see what you’re saying.</p>
<p>What’s funny is that I’ve been thinking like this ever since I got to community college—always considering the worst possible scenario and seeing what I can do to recover from it—and it may have helped me make better academic choices, lol.</p>
<p>In virtually every semester I’ve been at my community college, I’ve asked myself what the worst grades are that I could get even if I work hard(reasonably hard, anyway). I guess it’s a good sign that in the two and a half years at community college, the worst case scenarios that I envisioned never happened. Let’s hope I can continue that streak until June!</p>
<p>Firstly congratulations on your acceptance. Secondly I have to point out the humor that is you guaranteeing people in the UCLA thread that they will not be rescinded for certain grade slips then preceding to create a thread asking people that same question. Lastly, and not to sound rude or anything but if this is your last semester at community college, (unless you are doing summer), can’t you get better grades? It sounds like you have a bunch of elective type classes that I presume you were doing well in previously if you had a 3.83 or whatever. If next fall you are going to be at UCLA and taking much more difficult, upper div classes, don’t you want to finish strong at your CC? 2 c’s and 2 b’s? Really man? Time to get off CC if you ask me :^).</p>
<p>@socaltransfer14 legit good advice. I’m trapped on this site</p>
<p>@socaltransfer14 </p>
<p>It is pretty ironic that I can say with certainty that certain others will not be rescinded when I myself am worrying about that. To be fair, however, their situations are radically different than mine. They worry about getting a B or two or something similar which is indisputably not sufficient for rescission of admission, which is why I say with certainty that they’ll be fine. The same can’t be said for my situation. </p>
<p>And ironically, I chose these classes in my last semester because I thought they’d be easier; in earlier semesters, I purposely sought out the classes offered by tougher professors at my school and got A’s in them…and yet, here I am, worrying about classes that I thought would be a piece of cake.</p>
<p>And trust me, the time spent on college confidential isn’t impacting my performance. 
I’ve been reading about 40-60 pages a day for homework and it’s beginning to take its toll on me. I’m actually doing as much reading this semester as many english and history majors are doing at the upper-division level. As a philosophy major, I’m not supposed to read that many pages, lol. :P</p>
<p>At the upper-division level, philosophy doesn’t demand so many pages of reading, but the readings that are assigned are much more dense to compensate, so, in my opinion, my performance in this last semester doesn’t reflect on my ability to succeed at the upper-division level because of the nature of field of study.</p>
<p>Wow, that could make a great appeal letter. :)) </p>
<p>@Cayton, I called them today regarding the general contract and the lady said that 2 C’s is definitely something to report, but whether or not you get rescinded depends on your grade trends throughout CC…but to contact them immediately if that does happen, the sooner the better</p>
<p>. Also, when I asked her about dropping classes, she was really vague and just told me it was a case-by-case basis, but the general tone she had was that she was against dropping any classes just in case they hold it against us. Apparently they don’t give a straight answer for hypothetical drops in GPA or class drops, so the only way we can find out is if we drop the class, report it to UCLA and see if they rescind us. Too much of a risk for me…</p>
<p>Anyways, I hope that helps! </p>
<p>I emailed UCLA a few days ago asking about the impact of dropping an elective class, and they got back to me today, saying: </p>
<p>“It is our policy not to comment on “what we would do” in hypothetical situations. Thank you for updating us with this information.”</p>
<p>and then they just reiterated some information of how to go about reporting changes to the school. I’m in a similar boat as a few of you guys; I want to drop a class but I’m weary of what will happen.</p>
<p>@Freetofly112 </p>
<p>Way to go, UCLA. :-w </p>
<p>@ivelosthope </p>
<p>Thanks, man.</p>
<p>They’re so vague. The only thing we can do is look for people who have dropped classes prior to enrollment with no consequences…although I haven’t found any proof of that yet. Only hearsay. </p>
<p>@Freetofly112
So I finally talked with the undergrad admissions rep earlier this afternoon. She did agree that my situation is that I’ve already fulfilled the requirements, however whatever class I drop, I should just explain it in the academic changes portion. Nothing saying I should be fine. So yeah just the same remark as yours. </p>
<p>@ivelosthope </p>
<p>I’m way too far behind the class that I want to drop so there’s no turning back for me. If I do stay, it’ll hurt my GPA. I’ll finalize and update everything tomorrow. Wish me luck.</p>
