<p>Do you guys know the policy for getting a D. I have a friend who is in comp sci and he currently has a D in comp sci but has C's in the rest of his college courses. Do you think he still has a chance to make is into UCSC. He said that he has to write a letter to the undergraduate admissions office explaining that D. Do you think he stilll has a chance of getting into UCSC.</p>
<p>He wants to transfer from another university? go here <a href="http://stars.ucsc.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://stars.ucsc.edu/</a> and poke around.</p>
<p>i was actually in your friend's shoes. i had a D in my math class my senior year of high school. I was generally a good student and had a 3.8 my first semester. I had to fight it to the bone. I didnt sleep two days because i thought id get my admission recinded. If i were your friend i'd notify them right away and be a smooth talker. Have him send repetitive emails stating his case and have him thoroughly explain why he did not do well in that course. Best of luck... i got through it two years ago... hopefully they havent gotten more strict.</p>
