Hey everyone thank you so much for all the great replies. I'm taking all of these suggestions and really trying to use them to prepare my schedule. I am definitely going to try not to overload. I rather protect my GPA.
As for taking a class in the summer session to get a hang on things I can't really take summer UCLA classes because I haven't had my orientation yet. I feel like by the time I have it all the classes will be filled. However I CAN take UCLA Extension courses. My question is, if I take these courses for the summer will this look bad to adcoms? As in I took "easier" classes to avoid real UCLA classes? I'm mainly doing this so I can knock out 2 chem classes this summer without falling behind. Someone I know is advising me to just take the hard classes through Extension and knock out bio and some upper divs through actual UCLA. I'm so confused. Is this a bad idea?
What is your major? If it is one that requires these classes, then you better contact UCLA to make sure they will accept your extension classes to count towards your major requirements. They may or they may not.Hey everyone thank you so much for all the great replies. I'm taking all of these suggestions and really trying to use them to prepare my schedule.
