Winter Grades & UCLA

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Hey I was wondering if anyone else received an email from UCLA admissions this past weekend asking for your winter grades? I thought UCs don't count winter grades, according to previous posts on other discussions.</p>

<p>Here's the email:</p>

<p>As soon as I got the email, I responded quickly. And in case you're wondering what grade I received: Hist 12 = A, Math 52 = B. I am Global Studies major. Both of the two classes are pre-reqs to UCLA GS major, however my first choice is UCSB!</p>

<p>No email (but I am also a UCLA and SB transfer applicant), but I heard about this- any pre-req you take during winter, they will ask for your grades. I took a pre-req to a pre-req that I’m taking in Spring, so that flew under their radar, according to my college counselor.</p>

<p>Hope that helps and that others can help you too. Good luck :slight_smile: The waiting is absolutely killing me, and I can’t decide which one I want!</p>

<p>From Assist:</p>

<p>“Transfer students are admitted as Pre-Global Studies
majors and must apply to the Global Studies major after their first term at
UCLA. Effective Fall 2010, transfer applicants must complete a minimum of
six major preparatory courses by the spring term prior to admission. All courses
must be taken for a letter grade.”</p>

<p>I’m guessing these two grades helped you meet the minimum of 6 pre-reqs.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Interesting. I took a pre-req in the Winter too, but haven’t gotten an e-mail like that (I’m a History major, it was my last major req). I’ll be on the look out!</p>
