D in AP Government, applied to UCs, what do I do?

[frogtboi]

In my first semester, I received my first D in AP Government. I have a history of getting all A’s in my social science classes, but due to personal reasons at the time, I was not able to keep up in the class. My GPA, however, still remains above a 4.0 and I’ve done well in all of my other classes.

So basically I was just wondering, do I still have a chance at a UC (Irvine and San Diego specifically)? And is there anything I should do about it now before admissions or wait to see how well I do in my second term of AP Gov?

Talk to your GC. They may be able to help even though you violated your requirement to stay above a D.

And work hard to bring your year end grade up.

Your correspondence must include your name, UC Application ID number and your signature (if you mail a letter), and will be available to all the campuses to which you applied.

If you receive an offer of admission, be sure to confirm with the campus admission office that they are aware of the deficient grade or schedule changes.
