Do CSU's accept F's?! I want to apply to CSULA & CSU San Bernadino.

[twilight_girl09]

<p>I got an F in Pre-Calculus! :'(
I know I can't get in any UC's but I was hoping I could get accepted to some of CSU's. I have never failed a class except this one. I have a 3.7 GPA(weighted) for 9th-11th grade. Do I have a chance of getting accepted to any CSU's? What is the average GPA?</p>

<p>Not good, I’m sure CSU have accepted students that had a failing grade, but it’s probably rare. I wouldn’t rule your chances out.</p>

How to Make Up Missing Courses
**If you didn’t take all the required high school courses or earned D grades in some of them, you have several options to make up these courses and qualify for CSU admission. You can complete appropriate high school courses with a grade of C or better either in summer school or in adult school. Courses in this category must be those found on the high school or adult school UC “a-g” course lists. Some adult schools may not have a-g course lists. </p>

<p>You may also complete college courses with a grade of C or better in the missing subject areas. Finally, you can earn an acceptable score on examinations such as the SAT subject examinations, Advanced Placement examinations, or International Baccalaureate examinations. **</p>

<p>If you are unable or do not choose to make up your subject deficiency, you may earn at least 60 units from a California Community College or other college and transfer as an upper-division transfer student, where only your college performance is considered for admission.
