Sorry if this has been asked before but do you all know the conditionals for getting a 'D' grade? I know or have been told that for a 'D' you need to make it up because the UC will not accept it. I either want to go to a UC or a CSU. What do you guys think? I currently have 2 D's on my transcripts however my GPA is 3.5 unweighted (The D's were AP classes)

If you can help please tell me ! If it helps i live in California.

Well, I ALMOST got a D in one class and my counselor said that if I get a D then I would be rescinded.
But apparently last year, this girl got a D in AP Calc BC, but she got a 5 on the AP test and she still got into UCLA.

[OMGitzYOU]

It depends on your major and if the class is a-g requirement, which I doubt though since its AP. I had a D in AP Calc AB and my counselr told me the only way I can make it up is to retake AP so yeah.

[FallenLove]

what year are you in?
if you are in junior year,
you can't make it up;
it counts for senior year
if you do make it up

[AzNHeart93]

What year are you in?
If you can make it up, my couselor says to make it up at a community college. <-- AP
If it's core classes, you can make it up during summer school.

[happy kudasai]

well
if you have even one D,
you cant get accepted into the UCs.

but you might still be able to make it up.
talk to your counselor.
at this point,
she's the best one to help you out.

^ i dont think so.. i think its OVERALL
one D can so something but if your a great student overall, it shouldnt matter THAT much.

my friend: 4-5 APs, A's and B's all freshman and sophomore year. junior year got ONE F. still got accepted to ucsd / irvine etc.

my sister: Straight A's junior year but two D's sophomore year. got accepted to ucsd/ irvine etc..

so really one D wont affect you but make sure you retake it!

If you're a senior and you've already been accepted, you need to maintain a 3.0 unweighted GPA, but any Ds or Fs can rescind your acceptance.

[simply korean]

i think you should make it up just in case. u can never be to careful
esp since the acceptance rate for colleges are soo low these days
ppl with decent A and B grades are finding it hard to get into college
trust me right now me and my friends are waiting and hearing from colleges
it's been hard. and i'm in all the IB advance classes.

[Kizoku]

Yikes!

I had a D first quarter in AP BC Calculus, then a C-, and might get a D this quarter.

I'm a junior, so college applications have not started for me.

However, if I do well on the AP exam how will colleges think of me?

[azn_chick91]

my friend got a D+ in AP chem (he regrets taking the class) for the first semester
and has been totally depressed
because he risks the chance of getting his acceptances taken back

the conditions of getting into a UC are to maintain a 4.0 GPA
but despite this, the schools take D's very seriously

^BC calc is very tough...it's the worst i have ever done in math before T.T
i barely got an A first semester
and currently hold a C+ for the third quarter -.-

but yeah, i would suggest making it up or studying really hard for the AP test
because i think that the colleges would look more towards your AP test grades than your class grades
but at the same time, they'll be hindered at the sight of that D

it's kind of the same as SAT scores and GPA...
if you have a high GPA but a low SAT score, they'll give you a bit of lee-way
but if you have a high SAT score and a low GPA, then they'll think that you just don't want to try hard in school

something like that...but don't take what i just said to heart...
i could be wrong >.<

[Jin91]

you don't have any other D's right? Just don't get any C's or D's next year and it should balance out. Colleges might think you hit a rough spot, but if you pull yourself together the next year and have no problems, you should be okay... and yeah, doing well on SATs and other stuff too would help them overlook those grades

[love*beat]

I'm close to getting a D in my Chemistry Honors class x__x;
It's mainly due to the fact that my teacher doesn't know how to teach = Major confusion
And I don't have the magical ability to understand Chemistry easily like everyone else T__T haha
I honestly don't even understand why I'm taking this class anymore so I am going to be SO glad when I go into Anatomy next year xD

[Vindictive]

Hello!

I received a D- and below a 3.0 GPA and still did not get my acceptance rescinded to UC Irvine.
What I did was write a letter to the admissions office and explained my situation and how this does not usually happen to me.

[azn_chick91]

^ my friend did that too....
but irvine's still considering rescinding his acceptance
which is why he committed to berkeley even though they accepted him for the winter semester (or w/e it was)

[proFRESHional.]

Hey guys...umm..I got a questionn..I got a D for first semester in my 9th grade year and its on my transcript..and I was wondering will it affect my chances of going to a UC or a USC? If I take it at a comm. College this summer,will it change that grade on my transcript?
