<p>That's basically my question! but if you need more background info...</p>

<p>I've just been recently admitted into UCSD but then i realized that i had gotten a C- on a math course in junior year 11th grade (my ONLY "C" grade in HS in Advanced Algebra + Trig)...</p>

<p>I didn't however write that i received this C- because everyone told me not to include +'s and -'s. I am taking a math course senior year so I will be able to attain 3.5 math credits tht include AG 1and AG 2 classes (3.5 credits given that they don't count my C - as a passing grade) and that i also believe is above the (a-g requirments) required 3 credits of math!</p>

<p>Am i in trouble? i'm so paranoid right now! Thanks!</p>

<p>"How does UC calculate grades earned on the trimester system? For example, what if a high school student has a C-plus in the first trimester, a B-minus in the second trimester and a C-minus in the third trimester?</p>

<p>Since UC does not count pluses and minuses in freshman applicants’ GPAs, the grade would count as two-thirds C and one-third B — in other words, a bit higher than a regular C. On his or her application, the student should indicate that the school was on a trimester system, and UC will calculate the GPA based on that."</p>

<p>Deduce from that what you can …</p>
