<p>I have an E and D on my transcript from freshman year. I retook geometry because I got an E and I guess they averaged it to be a D. But the E is still there. My gpa was a 2.85 uw because of those grades However, this year as a sophomore I have a 3.5 uw gpa so far and I'm still plan on improving. If i get straight A's from now on I can even get a 3.6 uw gpa counting freshman year. I was just wondering if colleges will reject me because of my E and D on my transcript even if I show an upward trend? I do well in my other classes...it was just geometry that gave me trouble. So how much will those grades affect my chances?</p>
<p>You should not be discouraged about getting a E or D. Generally, an upward trend in grades will be a positive factor.</p>
<p>By the way, the UCs don't count your grades from freshman year.</p>
