CSUF - D in Algebra - High school

Applying to College
1

<p>So when I was taking Algebra 3-4 in high school I got a D first semester.
I have a mathematical learning disability and am extremely challenged in math though accelerated in language and arts and have taken honors and AP classes in those courses.</p>

<p>I really want to attend this school but I know they do not accept "D"s.</p>

<p>If I take "algebra applications" my senior year of high school which is like - dumbed down "special math" - and do well, will I still be able to get accepted? It will be over the required amount of math classes needed. Or do I have to retake algebra? </p>

<p>I could retake it online but I live in so much fear of taking math because of my disability. It literally puts me to tears and terrifies me to think of taking it again. :/ Taking Algebra apps would be much more fitting and I might be able to survive it unscathed. </p>

<p>Thank you so much in advance for your input.</p>

<p>CSU’s subject requirements are listed here:</p>

<p>[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - High School Subject Requirements](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Freshman: Admission Requirements | CSU)</p>

<p>You need three years of high school math with grades of C or better (though they may allow a higher course to validate lower courses that you did not take or got a D in).</p>

<p>Use the following site to determine which courses at your high school count (it is for UC, but UC and CSU have the same course requirement categories):</p>

<p>Note that this site also has a detailed description of the math requirement:</p>

<p>What’s Algebra 3-4? Do you mean Algebra 1?</p>

<p>For CSUs and UCs, if you retake the course then they don’t consider the original at all. But it has to be the exact same.</p>

<p>No, it’d be Algebra 2 I guess. </p>

<p>And okay. Sigh.</p>
