<p>Hello Cc I'm new and I have quite a question to ask, you see I'm a sophomore and grades for transcripts are coming up. Now in the beginning of the school year I had to deal with the death of my grandmother and my grades dropped horribly low and I usually keep them at A's, well now I have managed to get all of my grades to A's except one, Pre-Cal. Now the way she grades things is complicated and weighs tests heavily, no retakes so I ultimitly end the class with an F hopefully a D. I really want to get into UCSD but I feel as if my dreams will be crushed I'm really concerned I want to get into this collage when I graduate highschool but I'm sure that's a no... Is there some way they might cut me some slack?? I'm so desperate.</p>
<p>(My sister's an alumni, will that help?)</p>
