College!

So I got a D in Ap environmental Science in my fall year of 12th grade. And I got into UC Santa Cruz. I know I should inform them about my D. And tell them why but what should I say? Also I’ve already fulfilled my A-g requirement for science. I Was really close to getting a C and it wasn’t like I wasn’t trying. but what should I tell admissions? and they said inform them in writing. should I call as well? or just write?.

What is the reason you got a D? You said you were trying, then what was it?

If you do not report the D that is on your final transcript, admissions could rescind your acceptance. If you contact them ASAP, then they will most likely work with you. Regardless if you have fulfilled your a-g courses, you are required to have at least a C or above in all these classes. Admissions can be pretty understanding, but if you neglect to contact them it could be a big problem especially after the May1 deadline. Better to find out now when you still may have some options.

Well I meant I was interested in the class and I didn’t purposely get the D. I tried my best. And I didn’t anticipate how challenging the class would be.
