Do CSUs accept a "D" in Calculus if I passed the AP exam?

<p>I have 3.6 weighted GPA and 1950 SAT, but I got a D in calculus junior year. I got a 4 on the Calculus AP exam though. So does passing the AP exam make up for failing the class? Will CSUs accept me? I'm retaking Calculus right now in a community college but I'm not sure if I can pass. Thanks.</p>

<p>It’s never good to make a D but I think they could let it slide. You might want to retake SAT though. Chance Back?</p>

<p>AP scores are self-reported and don’t hold much weight. Also, there is no pass/fail in AP tests really. I wouldn’t say the good outweighs the bad.</p>

<p>The D will still count in your GPA for CSUs. But the AP calculus score >= 3 will fulfill the math subject requirement for CSUs (see page 6 of <a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/sas/onestopkiosk/documents/AdmissionHandbook.pdf”>http://www.calstate.edu/sas/onestopkiosk/documents/AdmissionHandbook.pdf&lt;/a&gt; ).</p>

<p>CSUs other than CPSLO admit based on the CSU eligibility index calculated as described here:
<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
GPA for CSU purposes is calculated as described here:
<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;

<p>Please read the following about CSU campuses and majors which have higher admission standards than the minimum eligibility index of 2900.
