Good luck! Keep the forum updated! Sounds like you’ll be fine though. :)</p>
<p>I’m in a similar situation. Dropping a class that has nothing to do with my major or 60 units. It’s also my 5th class this semester and the circumstances are basically unavoidable. I expect they’ll say the same thing when I call and I’m really stressed. I wonder if you visit and ask they’ll be less vague? Wishful thinking. They probably get so many hypothetical situation questions.

<p>@credulitykills
I’d like to believe that. :)</p>
<p>Any news?</p>
<p>@Gunnnn </p>
<p>They’ve yet to respond. :(</p>
<p>@Cayton worse case you can drop the classes </p>
<p>@sonic23 </p>
<p>Yeah, one of the classes I might get a C in isn’t necessary for IGETC or my major, or even for completing 60+ units. If UCLA gets back to you and says they’re OK with you dropping that history class(Since you don’t need it for anything, really and your circumstances are quite similar to mine), I may just drop one of my classes.</p>

<p>It’s too late. The last day for SMC students to withdraw was April 8th I believe. However, there’s a special option to withdraw if he has extenuating circumstances such as a medical issue so, if he’s desperate, Cayton better break his collar bone to get a late W, but even then, it’s up to the professor to decide.</p>
<p>At this point, I’d recommend Cayton to sign up for two 2nd 8 week classes and get A’s in both because that’s the only way to get his GPA up to 3.0 this semester assuming he gets 2 B’s and 2 C’s.</p>
<p>If he gets below 3.0? Who knows what will happen, but his decision may be rescinded since 3.0 seems to be the minimum gpa needed for spring in the provisional contracts.</p>
<p>Also, they didn’t say that the 3.0 needs to be achieved with only UC transferable courses, meaning, if Cayton signs up for a bunch of non transferable classes like remedial Algebra, he can easily get a 3.0</p>
<p>His time is running out. SMC’s 2nd 8 week classes just started so, if he decides to listen to my advice, he better start running all over campus and grabbing as many late add codes as possible.</p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>I recommend AHIS 72 with Mihaylovich and Bus 1 with Veas. They have excellent ratings on ratemyprofessor, and it’s all online. Email them for add codes as soon as possible and pray you get add codes. </p>
<p>If not them, there’s a Soc 1 and Nutrition class that are also online. Email those professors too just in case.</p>
<p>@Cayton</p>
<p>Is the class that awful? Are you sure you don’t see yourself ending up with at least a B? </p>
<p>@Cayton ill let you know what they say but by any chance can you directly contact you UCLA rep? To get advise on what to do next. I didn’t know SMC had such an early drop date, mine is till May 11th i believe </p>
<p>@sonic23</p>
<p>Which school do you attend?</p>
<p>@Burntcorpse ELAC 
</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>lol, believe it or not, I’m taking AHIS 72 right now with Mihaylovich right now. I currently have a B in that class but I may just get a C in it. </p>
<p>I can’t drop this class, though. Need it for IGETC. My other class is very unnecessary, though, and I have until May 18th to drop it; the deadline is actually pretty late in the semester. I bombed the midterm for this class and may end up with a C.</p>
<p>@ocnative </p>
<p>I may get B’s, but there’s a real chance I may get C grades. maybe a 40-50% chance of getting one C and 30~40% chance of getting two C grades.</p>
<p>@cayton I took ahis72 with her… loved it. Why do you think you’re gonna get a C?? </p>
<p>What about not reporting “transferable” courses taken 5 years ago that have nothing to do with the intended major? </p>
<p>@chaoscuber Yeah, that’s bad. Clear it up ASAP. Do you have bad grades in those courses?</p>
<p>@credulitykills The thing is, I have a 3.96 without them and I’m in the process of getting those grades changed to "W"s since they were taken in middle school… I’m waiting to contact them after I get them changed, you feel me?</p>
<p>@uclammg </p>
<p>I’m not sure I’ll do all that well on the museum paper and although I got a good grade on her first exam, I’m not sure I can get good grades on her last two tests.</p>
<p>How did you do on the museum paper and exams?</p>
<p>@Cayton I got an A on the museum paper and from what I remember, she graded it pretty easily. I probably got A/B’s on the exams, and ended up with an A at the end. If you did good on the first exam and you’re doing those weekly assignments, then I wouldn’t worry too much. </p>
<p>Also, according to her grade distributions, about 95% of her class gets A’s and B’s. </p>
<p><em>update</em>
I just dropped it and submitted the academic changes. They said it will take 15 days for them to review it. I may be sent a revised provisional admission contract or rescind their offer. 8-}
gaaaahhh
I’m not out of the woods yet. But the rest of my classes are fine. I’ll find out May 7.</p>
