Hi, is any one going to UCLA-berkeley. I have been conditionally accepted there for Computer Engineering & Sciences but, I was thinking of taking some extra summer courses that have the potential of being college credits. Do they re-evaluate me if I do? Or it doesn't really matter what marks I get during the summer program.
You are suppose to report all course/schedule changes (and that includes taking courses you weren't planning on before) to the campus after you are accepted. Getting bad grades may cost you the acceptance, so take courses you are confident in getting good grades.

I've never been in your shoes – but – I'd take the courses either way! How great to be able to add some credits at this time. It sure can't hurt! At some point you will be re-evaluated since your placement is conditional – and it will be a feather in your cap! Good Luck. I have a feeling you are going to be a great asset to this country. God Bless.

I work with both Berkeley and UCLA as an Outreach Volunteer, primarily for freshman admissions (I received training on admission requirements and attend college fairs to promote the schools). I also volunteer to score Alumni Scholarship applications and interview the applicants (for the Los Angeles area) for both campuses. I received my BA from Berkeley and made a brief attempt (one year) at UCLA in a graduate program (PhD).
I offer free academic advising and college/scholarship application review to high school and transfer students I meet at college fairs, thru Yahoo! Answers and LiveJournal who are planning to apply to Berkeley and/or UCLA.
