So, I interviewed at Davis and loved it. I am currently holding one waitlist and am being considered for acceptance at another school.
BUT, I have one last course to take to meet all of Davis requirements. This course must be completed by the first week in June. One of my professors has reluctantly agreed to teach an independent study course so that I could matriculate at Davis if it was necessary. However, the professor does not want to teach a special summer course just for me if he doesnt have to. I doubt I will hear from Davis about an acceptance before the class would have to have started.
I dont know what to do. The professor that has agreed to teach the class wrote one of my science letters and since there is ~50% chance I wont get in, I will need him to write me another letter. I dont want to irritate him. Also, this is an upper division CHEM Course that is usually spread out into three months that I would be cramming into a little less than one month. I have a career and work 50hr/wk. I am afraid I might get a mediocre grade in the course if I take it under these circumstances, which will, again, hurt my chances for reapplication in the likely event that Davis does not accept me.
Question One: Does anyone know for certain that Davis offers conditional acceptances (accepted, but you must complete the req. before matriculation)?
Question Two: What should I do?
TIA!
