I just finished my first semester of Calculus and got a D (66%).I usually do good in math (A in Pre-Cal,B in Algebra 2, A in Geometry). Will this affect my chances for CSULB,CSULA,UCMerced? This is my first D ever in high school. This year I am taking AP physics and AP Psychology (Both grades were B’s). I have taken a total of 6 Ap classes, 3 this year, 2 last year, and 1 the year before. The lowest grade in any of my AP classes was C for only one semester, the rest were B’s. Also I have no extracurricular activities or community service.

So whats my chance?
notify them that you received a D, UCs require you to inform them of any D or F received. not sure about CSUs
For the UC’s you need to notify them if you receive any grade below a C after you have submitted your application.
Freshmen: If you change schools, add or drop a course, or fail to earn a C or better in a course after you submit your application, you must notify the UC Application Center by email or postal mail. 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. Although you must notify the campus of these changes, we cannot guarantee that a campus can go back to review an application after correspondence has been received. Make sure to save a copy of your correspondence just in case.

For the CSU’s, it will depend on each school. Is this your final semester grade? If so, I would contact each CSU and find out your options. Some CSU’s will rescind your acceptance if you cannot get your final grade (end of year) up to a C, so it is better to be proactive now and see you what you need to do to maintain any acceptances.
