<p>So I'm getting everything ready to start applying to colleges in fall, I just registered for SATS (kinda late, I thought I was going to a JC until recently) but I have this problem. I Had a D first semester in my sophomore year geometry class, and my high school counselor told me due to that one semester I'm not meeting A-to-G requirements for California state schools. My counselor told me to fix the D I'm going to have to take online courses with BYU and I'm going to have to finish before application deadlines on Nov. 30th. But But I've been searching around online and I've found a lot of people saying that CSU's (such as Chico which is my No.1 school right now) will be lenient on a D, especially if you have high test scores, which I do (still have to take SATS but I've never had less than proficient on state scores). Is my counselor right, or does it even matter that I had that one D? Any help would be really appreciated because every day counts.</p>
<p>Have you completed trigonometry or precalculus with a C or higher grade?</p>
<p>On this web page:
[Publications</a> and Resources | Student Academic Support | CSU](<a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/]Publications”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/)</p>
<p>There is a CSU / UC comparison matrix:
<a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/documents/CSU-UC_a-gMatrix2011-12.pdf[/url]”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/publications/documents/CSU-UC_a-gMatrix2011-12.pdf</a></p>
<p>On the second page, under “VALIDATION OF SUBJECT REQUIREMENTS BY OTHER COURSES”, it says (for both CSU and UC):</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Does ASL meet the requirements for Language</p>
<p>Does American Sign Language meet CSU requirements for language?</p>
<p>yes, ASL coursework will fulfill the language (“e”) requirement.</p>
<p>If you have only taken math thru Alg II, then you need a C or better in every math course to even be eligible to apply to Cal State (or UC). Thus, if you received a grade lower than C, you will need to repeat Geom. But if you have taken any higher level math courses (pre-calc, AP Stats), and passed with a C or better, then you would not need to repeat the prior Geom course.</p>
<p>As noted above if you take trig or pre-calc and get a C you validate the prior D and still qualify for admission. You can also validate by taking an SAT subject test (math) not by taking SAT test. Also note it is a three year requirement and that three years includes whatever you are going to complete in senior year, and you can even do the completion summer after senior year. In other words if you will have three years of math separate from that one semester of D by completion of senior year all with a grade of C or better, you qualify. If you don’t and can’t validate you still may be able to make up that one semester of geometry in summer after senior year or even take an equivalent community college course next semester. In other words the counselor’s claiming you have to complete everything by Nov 30, the application deadline, is incorrect.</p>
