<p>Do you have to meet them? Like what happens if you have a couple of D's and everything. Does that automatically deny you. I have a 2.27 10-11 GPA right now and I'm about to raise it to a 2.5 or 2.7 without making up those D's. I saw that Index thing and if you have a 2.5 or 2.7 you don't even need a high score for those GPA's. I'm really worried I will get denied by every school because I got D's in AP Euro, Honors English 2, and Geometry.</p>
<p>It ultimately depends on what the requirements are for the school you’re applying for.</p>
<p>But what my counselor said is you still have a chance to get into a fairly good college as long as you explain to them somewhere on the application why you got a grade below C. Whether it be you had a family issue that year or you were trying to challenge yourself with a harder subject.</p>
<p>Either way, I wouldn’t rely on that and just try to make up the D’s (or get a high, if not perfect, SAT Reasoning/Subject and ACT score)</p>
<p>I’m applying to CSU’s. And yeah I was trying to challenge myself with AP and HP classes and I couldn’t take it. They wouldn’t let me switch out. And I always been bad at math. Sophmore years I had a 2.17 and 2.6. This year I have a 3.33 and plan on getting a 4.0 as a Junior. I don’t know if I can make up 6 D’s before Junior year ends.</p>
<p>You mean for California State Universities?</p>
<p>Only courses completed with C grades or higher can count toward fulfilling the a-g requirements for CSUs – see [CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - High School Subject Requirements](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Freshman: Admission Requirements | CSU) , <a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/documents/csu-uc-a-gcomparisonmatrix.pdf[/url]”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/documents/csu-uc-a-gcomparisonmatrix.pdf</a> , and <a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/SAS/publications/documents/AdmissionHandbook.pdf[/url]”>http://www.calstate.edu/SAS/publications/documents/AdmissionHandbook.pdf</a> .</p>
<p>See page 5 of the CSU Admission Handbook to see what you can use to substitute for the courses you got D grades in. The CSU-UC comparison matrix indicates that a C grade or higher in trigonometry or precalculus can validate the geometry that you got a D grade in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well yes; that is why they are called requirements</p>
<p>…
</p>
<p>And meeting the requirements means passing the class. A “D” is not passing and must be made up.</p>
<p>Four years of English are required with a C or better.</p>
<p>Three years of math (including Geom and Alg II) are required with a C or better.</p>
<p>If you do you retake required a-g courses in which you received a D and pass with a higher score, you are ineligible for Cal State. Thus, auto rejection.</p>
<p>Note, you can also retake in the summer after Junior year of HS.</p>
