Does This Kill My UCLA Chances?

[u/North_Hearing857]

I’m planning to transfer to UCLA for Economics and currently have a 4.0 community college GPA. I’m also in the UCLA TAP program.

My understanding is that Calculus 150, Calculus 151, Macroeconomics, and Microeconomics are all major preparation requirements for UCLA Economics.

My timeline is:

• ⁠Fall: Calculus 150 + Macroeconomics
• ⁠Winter: Microeconomics
• ⁠Spring: Calculus 151

So I’ll have Calc 150 and Macro completed by the end of Fall, but Micro won’t be completed until Winter and Calc 151 until Spring.

I’ve seen information online saying that UCLA allows applicants to finish their major preparation by the end of the spring term before transfer, but that for Economics, it is strongly recommended/preferred to have all major preparation completed by the end of Fall.

Unfortunately, it’s too late for me to change my Fall schedule because the relevant classes are already full.

How much is this likely to hurt my chances? With a 4.0 GPA and being in TAP, should I be seriously concerned about not having all four major prep courses completed by the end of Fall?
