Does summer school look bad to colleges? Will they accept me?

Applying to College

<p>I took 5 classes over the summer because I got D's in them. I know, it's horrible. But I made them up and got A's and B's in them. They were mainly math and science. It's not like I don't try, because I take AP's in history, English, and foreign language and I've gotten 4's and 5's on them, but I just tend to neglect the classes I don't like.</p>

<p>Now, how bad will it look to colleges?</p>

<p>Will they still accept me? I'm hoping to get into a UC...</p>

<p>My grades this year are pretty bad too. Actually, they are abominable. GPA by the time I apply for college will be 3.6-3.7.</p>

<p>I want to somehow raise my gpa this summer as well, but I don’t want the admissions officers to ask, “why didn’t you try in school, instead of making it up later?”</p>
