<p>I really want to go to UCSD. I'm also going to apply to UC Merced. </p>
<p>During my junior year of high school I got a D in my first semester of AP calculus. During the second semester I raised that grade to a B. I got a 2 on the AP test for calculus which I know is not good. But I passed all my other AP tests. </p>
<p>My other grades were mostly A's with a few B's. My GPA was over 4.0. I have awards including AP scholar, National Hispanic Recognition, CSF lifetime membership, and a few other less important ones. </p>
<p>For ECs I was in the chamber orchestra for 4 years, on the swim team for 2, and did golf and diving for 1 year each. I was also in some clubs and was president of one of them.</p>
<p>I was also in the top 5% of my graduating class. </p>
<p>I heard that UCs don't accept any D's. Am I going to get rejected because of that?</p>
<p>I've been accepted to other schools and got into their schools of engineering. But I'd like to go to a UC. What do you think my chances are?</p>
