<p>i posted one thread before but wanted to make sure i get my point across well...it seems the last time it sounded a bit confusing.....heres the deal....</p>

<p>Im a poli sci major, looking to get into ucla...i took way too many poli sci classes this semester and im looking into dropping 2 poli sci classes... would those w's being that they are direct major courses affect me? remember im a poli sci major and id be getting w's in poli sci classes! i hope not... i understand a few w's dont really matter but how about if the w's are direct classes towards your major ...i messed up and took more than i should have .....thanks for all your help...</p>

<p>repeat questions are just going to get repeat answers. but here's mine: we are not counselors, we cannot give you concrete advice... so go to your counselor! and bonus points... email the poli sci dept here at UCLA.</p>

<p>well liyana was no help..maybe she shouldn't waste her time I she has nothing to say...some people come here for advice, and in regards to the counselor thing, as we all know they dont know much</p>

<p>Look, if no one can help you here, no one can help you. Calm down; we're just students. And don't lash back at those who are here to help you.</p>

<p>i was trying to protect you from making serious decisions based on what you hear from students who are not counselors.</p>

<p>if you wanna take that risk, then, i won't stop you. </p>

<p>and the phrase "beggars can't be choosers" comes to mind.</p>

<p>MrPink and liyana don't know what they're talking about. </p>

<p>I transferred into poli sci last year so take my advice without question. Missing two required classes will hurt you a bit because getting into pre-poli. sci is very competitive, which means that the other applicants will most likely have all their preparatory courses done.</p>

<p>Also, keep in mind that the average admitted GPA for transfer was 3.65 for Fall 2008. If you have a solid GPA, write great essays, and you have some ECs, then you'll probably be able to compensate for missing those classes.</p>
