<p>Man I just sent them a message like 3 days ago and I still haven’t heard back. 15 days seem excessive :(|) </p>
<p>^^^ The rep I talked to today said we should get responses in 5-10 days. She basically said 15 days is just to keep people from freaking out if they haven’t heard. She also told me that if you haven’t received a reply within 10 days to call them.</p>
<p>@2016Candles i hope so because i feel like im dying I am even more stressed than before admissions cames out. I submitted my online change friday so i hope i hear back soon </p>
<p>I submitted a change and I’m also freaking out. A W in a non-major course. Today I checked and instead of being welcomed to the congrats page this came up</p>
<p>“We received your recent communication regarding changes to your academic information and are currently reviewing your record. Upon completion, we will contact you to inform you of any status changes”</p>
<p>Did this happen to anyone else?</p>
<p>@nechronix this happen to everyone who submitted a change, don’t worry.</p>
<p>OK guys, I’m contemplating dropping one of my classes—native american history—and I don’t need it for IGETC, getting 60+ units, or for my major. It’s one of the classes I may get a C in.</p>
<p>I don’t think UCLA will rescind me for this. But what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Nope. You’re good. Better to drop it than take a dip in your GPA only to have that bite you in the ass when you apply for grad school. It does say they might adjust your admission contract though. I don’t’ know what the entails but maybe you need to do better in your other classes to compensate?</p>
<p>@onehandedred </p>
<p>The class that I wish to drop is a serious distraction from my other, more important classes because it has huge reading requirements(I’m somehow already 133 pages behind in that class and I don’t expect to catch up without devoting serious amounts of time to schoolwork that wouldn’t be very good to my health)</p>
<p>I think this is a good reason to drop this class…it’s a native american history class, by the way. What do you think?</p>
<p>Hard to say honestly… telling the school that the reason you want to drop is you can’t keep up with the homework seems iffy to me, but it’s certainly better than a C ruining your GPA. Any other reasons you have? I think if you’re dropping a class, they expect you to have something to fill the “free” time you’re going to have. @Cayton</p>
<p>@onehandedred </p>
<p>You’re right…I may have to reconsider this course of action.</p>
<p>Just heard back from them.</p>
<p>“We do not advise students to drop courses and modify their class schedule. It is our policy to not comment on “what we would do” in hypothetical situations. If you decide to make the change in your coursework, then you must notify us by filling out an Academic Changes Form through the admissions website. We cannot guarantee that coursework changes will not affect your original offer of admission.”</p>
<p>Now I’m worried.</p>
<p>@ljbcac </p>
<p>Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>Hello, </p>
<p>I actually called an admission officer twice today about what “maintaining academic performance” meant. The first time I called, the lady said it meant I can’t get below a 3.0 this semester, and if I do, my overall GPA can’t drop below a 3.0. </p>
<p>The second time I called, I was more specific and asked what would happen (hypothetically speaking) if I were to get 2 C’s this semester and she said every situation varies. If my GPA changes drastically, I would have to report it to the admissions but she couldn’t answer any hypothetical questions because everyone has different circumstances (so basically the same as what everyone else has said on here). Then the admissions people would have to reevaluate my acceptance.
She asked if I wanted her to check my contract and to give her my UC ID…but I was scared my acceptance would be affected so I told her I had to go x.x LOL </p>
<p>ON ANOTHER NOTE: I actually had a friend transfer to UCLA and she dropped a major chem course. She called UCLA immediately and told them about her situation. They then told her it was fine and that she could finish that course when she got to UCLA…so maybe this info will help some of you? </p>
<p>Hahaha! You told her you had to go? So cute…</p>
<p>As expected, UCLA didn’t want to be specific. They just told me to report any drops in academic performance. They stated that it is their policy not comment on hypothetical scenarios.</p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>I strongly recommend for you to drop the Native American History course. </p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>Ah, but what good reason do I have for dropping it? Avoiding a C may not be good enough for UCLA.</p>
<p>For those of you that submitted changes last Friday have you guys got any responses? I still haven’t and its kind of worrying me :/</p>
<p>So I thought I would share my experience…</p>
<p>I called an admissions officer at UCLA and told them I would like to drop Spanish 2 which is a pre-req for English. The admission officer did not think it would impact my acceptance… I subsequently reported that I dropped the class to UCLA and awaited their response. They first responded by asking me what grade I had received in my class over winter semester. After giving them the information, I called admissions to inquire as to my status and I was told my admission was not rescinded : )</p>
<p>I do not know exactly how “required” Spanish 2 is but apparently it is not that important for English majors at UCLA : )</p>
<p>@Cayton </p>
<p>Tell them what you told us about how the class was affecting your other courses.</p>
