<p>IB Exams thus far: (I will be taking 5 Spring of this year
IB Math SL 11th: 4</p>

<p>Problem: In my IB Math SL Class I received a grade of a D (the heavy workload from my AP US History and AP/IB Physics classes cut into my studying time for math) the first semester and a C the second semester. Although I DID pass the IB math exam with a score of a 4. I also got Bs in Spanish 3 and AP Physics</p>

<p>This year senior year I am taking AP Calculus and I have a solid B in it as of now. Would this help to somehow "cancel out" my IB math grade in the eyes of the admissions officers?</p>

<p>That being said, I was wondering if I have any hope of getting into the top tier of UCs notably UCLA and UCB (I have obviously given up hope of attending any Ivy leagues). </p>

<p>Your input is much appreciated!</p>

<p>Due to you’re awesome GPA, I would say you’re probably in at both. However, to say you’re most likely in at both you’ll have to raise that SAT to 2000+. Think about taking it October or November (or even December). If you take it again and get like a 2100+, consider some ivies because you have a decent chance.</p>

<p>I am retaking the SATs again October 1, I am actually studying for it now.</p>

<p>You really think I am IN at both even with one D and one C? </p>

<p>More feedback would be appreciated!</p>

<p>You have gotten a one D and one C? I guess I didn’t read the application thoroughly enough? If you were able to get a 4.4 with a D and a C, I don’t even know. I actually think that D intensely ruins your chances, sorry. I’m not too sure about how UC’s look at D’s but I know they do not like it. I wish I knew more but I don’t, best of luck.</p>
