<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I received a "C" in calculus and I want to improve it to atleast an A or B. I am currently at a CC looking to transfer to a UC. If I can retake the class, does my new grade replace my "c"? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>No, C’s cannot be “replaced”.</p>
<p>If C’s can’t be retaken, wouldn’t it be better for your GPA to get a D that you can replace?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the UCs will not take that “retake” class. It’s only applied for D’s/F’s. </p>
<p>Better than a D.</p>
<p>^ correct. C’s cannot be retaken for a high grade.</p>
<p>“If C’s can’t be retaken, wouldn’t it be better for your GPA to get a D that you can replace?”</p>
<p>Not too many people actually contemplate about getting D’s but to just pass or get a higher grade.</p>
<p>To go off this post… I am wondering if I can retake a D class from a University at a Community College for a better grade? --Thanks in advance</p>
<p>a 5unit calculus class ended with a C will hurts your GPA for sure…</p>
<p>a w is better than a C or a D or an F. </p>
<p>A<B<W<C<D<F</p>
<p>Brettsbaby: You cannot retake a University class at a Community College.</p>
<p>You can retake a lower division university class at a community college. </p>
<p>most California community colleges have lower division course equivalencies with the UC, you can retake those at a CC</p>
<p>Let’s just say that I got a D. If I do retake the class, and get an A or B… will the A or B completely replace the C? In other words, will the C be deleted from my transcript?</p>
<p>I think you mean if the D will still be deleted if you got an A or B, but the D will still stay. They will only count which of the better two grades you got in that class towards your GPA.</p>
<p>The D will stay on your transcripts forever, lol. But when calculated your GPA and such, they will take the re-take grade, in this case, the A or B. </p>
<p>It sucks for Graduate School…they count everything…-.-;;;</p>
<p>what would you do if you were me? Call my teacher and have them turn it into a D so I can retake it? Or just accept the C? I’m positive that if I take the class over again get an A.</p>
<p>A>B>W>D>F>C</p>
<p>that’s what i think…</p>
<p>but if the class is really hard, and you are pretty sure that no matter you retake it or not, the best grade you can possibly get is a C. then go for the C…</p>
<p>otherwise, i would recommend a W, D or F.</p>
<p>it’s true that a ‘c’ in a 5 unit class will hurt your gpa.</p>
<p>but i highly doubt that a UC will deny you admission just because you have ONE c on your transcript.</p>
<p>ugh I hate Cs!</p>
<p>I had one C and was still accepted to UCLA, UCI and UCSB.</p>
<p>@socal</p>
<p>in your opinion, an “F” and a “D” grade is better than a “C” grade, really?</p>
<p>i think a lot of people blow the whole idea of having a “C” out of proportion, as long as you have a good GPA a couple of C’s shouldn’t hinder your chances of getting into a respectable UC.</p>
<p>i think i should retake it</p>
