D on Transcript!!! HELP

Hi guys,

During my junior year, I took AP Biology and got a D the first semester. I retook the course over the summer and scored two A’s. My question is, will UCs look down upon on those who retook the course even if they succeeded in the end? How will this affect my admissions in UCs and CSUs? Thanks!

Since you retook the class and passed, no issues with the UC’s and CSU’s. UC’s however require you to self-report both the D and A’s on the application while CSU’s just require you self-report the repeat grades.

Oh okay. Because I was worried that since I still have the D on the transcript. That it would have a negative influence on my application even though I passed after. Correct me if Im wrong.

It is always best to have a passing grade the first time, but you have proven that you are capable of succeeding.
