How badly does a D hurt my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I recently got a D in my AP Calc A/B class. I am horrible at math and science.(Side note: I am very strong in the humanities and hope to major in Journalism and Cultural Anthropology). Anyways, My D in Calc leads me to my main dilemma, how badly did I injury my chances at :</p>

<p>UC Santa Cruz
UC Irvine
Drexel University
Cal Poly
San Francisco State (Safety)</p>

<p>I currently have a measly 3.0 as a Junior which is an essential kiss of death. I have taken 4 AP courses this year (AP Chem-B, AP Eng-B, APUSH-A, and AP Calc-D) My other two courses were Latin II-B and Journalism-A. I am going to try a lot harder next semester to hopefully help my GPA but my question is Will colleges just instantly reject me due to my D? Does getting a high math grade next semester help me? and finally, Will getting a high SAT score levy my chances? </p>

<p>I have done a bunch of EC, most notably: Latin Club- Vice President, Journalism- Web Editor, FBLA- Reporter, Mathletes- Varsity (Ironic I know, my sophomore Pre-Calc teacher forced me into it), AP Club- Senator, College Club-Member, and my freshman year I was the JV captain of the Wrestling Team.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>D for a senior quarter grade before med year reports are sent? It will have some affect, but in comparison to your junior year mishap, little</p>

<p>So my D has hurt me a lot then? That was a bit of a wordy answer. I am a Junior not a senior.</p>

<p>Is it 3.0 weighted or unweighted?</p>

<p>Un-weighted.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure schools only see your year grade, in which case you could probably pull it u to a B- if you work your butt off next semester.</p>
