<p>i got a D. D: i sent them a letter (i was accepted) explaining why. i still havent received a reply from them. should i still press the "accept" button? or should i wait untill they reply to me?! D: help!</p>
<p>The deadline to accept admission is May 1st. Definitely wait until you hear back from them. Hopefully you have a solid explanation for your D, because in the past, UCSC is has been more anal about the senior year grade policy than the rest of the UCs. If you explain yourself thoroughly, I don’t think they will rescind your application over one grade.</p>
<p>Was it a D that will show on your transcript? Or is it one of the mid-semester grades that neither shows on your transcript nor goes into computing your GPA? I’ll bet if it’s the latter, it doesn’t matter.</p>
