<p>To get into a cal state school do you have to have a c or better in every class? </p>
<p>My friend has like 3 d's and 1 f but his csu gpa is a 2.7 and his sat is around 1000/1600</p>
<p>Also do you need Sat 2's?</p>
<p>With a SAT score of 1000/1600, your friend only needed a 2.38 average to qualify to apply--or with a 2.7, he only needed a 740 score--see the link below:</p>
<p>However, many of the better campuses and the better programs require that you have no worse than a "C" in all courses attempted--although, usually you can retake the course to get this. See this link for campuses and their majors that this applies to:</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind these are the minimum requirements for acceptance--and usually it takes a bit more to get into the better schools. San Diego State, for example, had about 47,000 applications this year--and Cal State, San Luis Obispo required about a 3.67 to 3.7 UW GPA and average 1800/2400 SAT scores to get in this year.
Best of luck to your friend.</p>
<p>So it doesn't matter if you have a few d's as long as you still meet that eligibility requirement.</p>
<p>Also calcruzer maybe you know the answer to this questions.</p>
<p>My friend took alg 2 and got A's in it both semesters but than switched high schools and took honors precalc.......he had an f and had to drop down to alg 2 bc they wouldn't let him go on to precalc unless he passed alg 2 at their high school. He then dropped alg 2 but had an f for the first semester.</p>
<p>So how will colleges look at this......he got an a in a class and then a year later got an f in the same class for only the first semester. Will they count the f? or will he have to retake it?</p>
<p>Well, I can only tell you how they usually treat it--I can't speak for every college, obviously.</p>
<p>Most colleges will count the "F"s for all courses taken--even if taken after completing the course at another school. This will be used for computing the grade point average.</p>
<p>As far as what he'll have to take in college--most schools will give a preliminary test at orientation or shortly after starting college--and will base what level the student will start at in various areas--for example, foreign language, English composition, and mathematics. Other times they will ask that you meet with a counselor or academic advisor who will figure out where the student should start. Lastly, what some schools do is put this in their admission lists--for example,they may say that if you scored below 550 on the verbal part of the SAT you have to take a remedial course in English, but if above that, then you don't--etc., etc.</p>
<p>So the answer is--it depends on which school he applies to. Check out the packages put out by the schools--usually they are pretty clear on how they treat this stuff.</p>
