I recently applied to a handful of California State Universities through the CSUMentor website. In high school, I repeated two courses that I had originally earned “D” grades in. When I reported my grades on the app, I included both the original (D) grade and the higher (retake) grade. Was I only supposed to report the higher grade? If I reported both, will there be serious negative consequences?
For CSU’s, you only should report the repeat grade not the original grade. UC’s require that you report both. I would email admissions at all the CSU’s to explain your mistake.
Thanks for the clarification! However, in the event that I am unable to change my mistake, will the admisions officers understand that I retook a class?
Yes. If they have any questions, they will probably ask you to submit your HS transcript for clarification.
