<p>I've gotten straight A's throughout all my classes, but sophomore year I kind of messed up. That was the year that I had a family tragedy, and it was extremely tough for my whole family and myself. I tried my hardest to achieve good grades, but one of my classes suffered the most. For the first semester, I got a 4.3 weighted, but I received a D grade in my Honors Algebra 2 class. Second semester of sophomore year, I got straight A's and a B+ in my AP European History class.</p>

<p>Junior year I got straight A's, and received a 4.86 (my school weighs honors classes on their transcripts) and two fives and a four on AP exams.</p>

<p>if there is any information left out please tell me! I really want to attend UCSB or Chapman/Pepperdine, since I know I have lost my chances for UC Berkeley and USC</p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>haha is this a joke? you are in for sure…</p>

3

<p>why have you lost your chances at berk and usc? i’d say you have good chances at all the schools you listed. definitely apply!</p>

4

<p>You have no chance at any good school when you only averaged a 4.4 sophomore year</p>

5

<p>I was just afraid my D would reject me forsure :[
thanks guys! :)</p>

6

<p>^^^^^
for the UC’s that D can reject you automatically because you need a C- or better in every single class you take. Make up that class ASAP</p>

7

<p>I already retook algebra 2 first semester in summer school, so would that be okay?</p>

8

<p>As long as you make up that D you’re golden. Don’t assume that you’re out of the running for Berkeley and USC! Especially if that one grade was because of a family tragedy…talk about it in your essays, that’s what they’re for. Good luck!</p>

9

<p>yeah, That is going to be addressed in my personal statements/essays. Thanks ! (:</p>

10

<p>have any of you gotten in with a D+ (of course, made up later on) on your transcripts?</p>
