<p>I'm currently taking Statistics and I might end up with a D at the end of the semester. Of course I'm going to try to boost it up, but still. If I do end up with a D, I'm definitely going to retake the course either next semester or over the summer.</p>
<p>So out of curiosity, if I were to retake the class and get a higher grade, how would it affect my admissions to a UC? I was originally a Psych major, so I needed Stat, but I decided to go into biology. And that's most calculus. I don't really need Stat, although it will hurt my grade if I don't retake it.</p>
<p>get an A and it will look better than getting a B.
get a B and it will look better than getting a C.
get a C and it will look better than not retaking.
get a D/F/W and it will look worse than not retaking it.</p>
<p>retaking a class will obviously look bad but if you do well in the retake, it will look considerably better.</p>
<p>you’d probably have to talk to a transfer rep/cc counselor about that. I would think that if you have retaken it for a passing grade, you should be fine. But make sure with a counselor.</p>
<p>try academic renewal? (i think that is what its called)</p>
<p>i have to do it for my poli sci class (non pre-req) … go to your admissions / records office and they should have info / a paper that is basically a petition to drop it from ur gpa calculations.</p>
