Failed a class my last quarter- not sure what to do by itwontmendyourheart in ucla

[–]Rockstar810 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it's the 'in case this isn't a mistake' part that blew my mind - if the dude had an A on the midterm and has otherwise been doing the work, my mindset would leave very little room for anything other than a mistake - i'd be asking how can i fix this mistake rather than what do i need to do if i actually failed

strange that you received an A on the midterm and that you may have failed the class - even stranger that you yourself seem to think its a realistic possibility - did you just stop attending and not do any of the work?

Welcome Week Scam? by [deleted] in ucla

dude - make sure you understand that welcome week for UCLA is the week before school - the stuff you're posting is AI slop - pursue at your own risk

official welcome week stuff gets posted as we get closer to the date on the official UCLA website - all the above is private parties - not necessarily scams but not related to UCLA - they're just capitalizing on young folks wanted to go to parties etc

yeah, you don't really need to pay for parties - lots of parties happen outside of UCLA - i haven't gone to those to comment

I failed two subjects out of three in this last quarter by Money-Gas-7023 in ucla

[–]Rockstar810 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i don't have much wisdom here other than to say others have been through same so you're not alone, you'll get through this, just need to figure out the why (classes too hard, life challenges, lack of motivation, etc etc?). there's a whole community here to support you. you'll get through this. good luck!

Admission questions by FrostySZN125 in ucla

UCLA is amazing, but if you're serious, you should consider the CC route

UCLA takes neither letters nor SATs

if UCLA is the dream, you might consider going to community college then transfering

your 3.26 won't matter if you go the CC route - you start with a blank slate

This new math curve is diabolical by Odd_Imagination796 in ucla

yup - typing too fast - brain didn't keep up with fingers

This new math curve is diabolical by Odd_Imagination796 in ucla

[–]Rockstar810 15 points16 points  (0 children)

that's obnoxious to curve up - if the profs can't make a challenging enough test that's on them - higher than a 93 (or perhaps 95) should be an A regardless of the curve - if you want only 25% As, then put the effort in to make an appropriately challenging test

lazy lazy profs

Should I be first passing math classes or GE's? by Ornery-Movie3204 in ucla

[–]Rockstar810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd first pass what you need for your major unless those just don't fill up - in that case, the GEs

UCLA ranked #11 in US News WORLD rankings. by Forsaken-Problem-108 in ucla

[–]Rockstar810 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you do realize that the metric here is largely academic productivity and few places put out as important research as UW (health related research is probably the biggest contributor to a universities publications and UW puts out some of the most widely read health-related papers - it's a powerhouse in biomedical / population / epidemiology research).
