Freshman Grades

Im a high school freshman and as it was a tough year of transition specially in the Alg2/Trig where got a D. Managed A’s in all the other subjects. Is it required to retake the course again to bump up my GPA. Some places it says UC’s and Many Private don’t look at freshman year grades when considering the GPA? Im very confused. I also play basketball in my school. Please advise so i can re take class this summer.

At least in my school, if you get C- or lower in a class, you have to retake the class at your school over the summer. It’s true some colleges don’t look at freshman year grades, but you better retake it if your school requires it, because they might not let you graduate or you limit your college options. Your Alg2/Trig grade could also impact your future math grades, because usually your subjects grades will not suddenly improve. Either over the summer preview PreCalc or prepare to constantly focus on math.
