<p>so its time for the transfer academic update, and i want to submit it as quick as possible. but i dont know what to do about the D i received in spring 2012 for statistics. i re-took the class this fall 2012 semester and passed with a B.
i quickly submitted a "removal of substandard grade" petition at my CC. and they approved it, subsequently my GPA on my transcript rose (yay!) BUT, does this even count for a UC?
would they still look at my D i received and count it towards my cumulative GPA?!
this is really worrying me a lot since the removal of the D rose my GPA to a number that i'm comfortable with, but prior to the removal, my GPA really bothered me and discouraged me from being accepted anywhere.
i dont qualify for AR because my CC has a rule where two years has to pass for them to give me an AR. which is stupid cause that was the only semester i messed up since i was in the hospital for a couple of weeks and had to withdraw from all but one my classes. but stupid me thought i could handle stats and muster at least a C. what a fail that was....
anyway, can anyone give me any advice or help? would i be able to address this issue on my transfer academic update? thanks!</p>
<p>The “D” you received will be disregarded when they calculate your GPA. You still have to list the “D”, but since your repeated the course for a passing grade, the substandard grade is thrown out. Don’t worry.</p>
<p>There was actually no reason to even have it removed. The new grade would have superseded the old grade.</p>
<p>Make sure that you report your D grade if its currently on your transcript. Admissions is very clear about accurately reporting your grades throughout the UC application process. I wouldn’t worry about it though, they will see that you have retaken the course and received a B and disregard your previous grade. If you are super nervous about it, talk a UC admissions before you submit your update.</p>
<p>okay. i see. thanks everyone. i dont feel as nervous or bad anymore! good luck to you all. :)</p>
