<p>People are always taking about whether or not W's affect your chance at admission so i was wondering what a D would do to affect you.</p>
<p>I receive a D in a remedial Math class then retook and received an A, but doesnt affect my GPA because it is not UC transferable, but will it be looked down upon, as it still appears on my transcript.</p>
<p>When you apply for transfer, you are going to be asked to submit only the classes that are UC transferable. As far as I am aware, the UC of your picking will not be asking for transcripts until you’re admitted, and will not take account of all other classes that are not recognized by the UC system.</p>
<p>I had one D, repeated the course with an A, and still got into UCLA and Cal. Keep your GPA super high and you shouldn’t have a problem. UNLESS you are trying to transfer into a super competitive major.</p>
<p>Besides, it’s not even UC transferable, so it shouldn’t even matter. You are fine.</p>
<p>kc_sunshine,</p>
<p>what did your cumlative gpa end u being?</p>
<p>Hi, my GPA at the time of my application was 3.83 and is 3.73 now. I didn’t have a great spring semester.</p>
<p>“When you apply for transfer, you are going to be asked to submit only the classes that are UC transferable.”</p>
<p>This isn’t true. When you apply to a UC, all college-level courses that you have ever taken at any institution must be included on your application. When they ask for all of your transcripts after you’ve been admitted, the courses you reported on your application must precisely match the courses on your transcripts. This is to prevent applicants from selectively submitting their grades; they want to see your entire college career.</p>
<p>However, this does not mean that non-transferable courses have any weight at all in the selection process. You have nothing at all to worry about. Your transfer GPA is calculated only with transferable courses.</p>
<p>Derekjn,</p>
<p>a remedial math class is not college level. So I take it you don’t need to put it in?</p>
<p>you still need to put it on your app because it is a course you took at the college you attend. from what i’ve been told they just wont take it into account when going over your app. the OP should be fine; like kc_sunshine said keep up your GPA and you shouldn’t have a problem</p>
<p>i have a D, 5 F’s and 9 W’s.
5 insufficient grades were retaken for A’s.
1 was removed through academic renewal.
applied to philosophy at 4 UC’s, got into UCLA, UCSD, UCSB and was denied by Cal.</p>
<p>
Luckiest UCLA transfer ever?</p>
<p>i guess… i also have 2 C’s, but all of the crap grades and withdrawals were lumped together in my first two years (of 4 total 
). during the second two years, from which i have most of my units, i averaged ~3.75-.8. however, my overall GPA of (i think) 3.55 is still right on or slightly above average with the phil major at most schools.</p>
<p>I see, you must’ve been an in-state transfer.</p>
<p>i think it’s safe to say that 9/10 people on this board are.</p>
<p>Yeah. Pretty unfortunate though, because I was looking to transfer into a UC (particularly UCLA or Berkeley) until I found the in-state/out-of-state transfer statistics.</p>
<p>He’s not that lucky… Philosophy is really easy to get into at UCLA. Almost a 70% acceptance rate. No offense</p>
<p>The admission standards are still high though at UCLA, though that specific major isn’t competitive. </p>
<p>5 F’s and 9 W’s lol…</p>
<p>for what it’s worth, i think my essays were pretty good and i’ve held jobs since the age of 16.
regardless, i think i’m living proof that it’s possible to transcend insufficient grades. even more possible if you’re willing to look past Berkeley and UCLA.</p>
<p>
Yes, as old phrase goes, “if there’s a will, there’s a way”, which is quite true in life. Besides, it’s not always all about numbers when attempting to matriculate into top universities.</p>
<p>Anyways… Pinker you made a big transition from your past grades to your present. I commend you for that. =D</p>
<p>@Art is Melodic: “College level” essentially means anything after high school, so you most likely have to include it.</p>
