<p>you need to call the admissions office immediately. let them know that you received a D and just listen to their response... from there you'll know if its bad or not</p>
<p>umm yeah i may get a D this semester and im going to (or hope to, at this point) UCLA. I spoke to admissions officer who told me to hold back judgement before official grades are reported. At that point, send in a letter and plea to retake the class. I missed 2 weeks of lecture this semester due to overseas family obligations and I had increased work obligations and started volunteering this semester, though. So needless to say, time wasn't aplenty</p>
