<p>Hi! I am currently a freshman in my first semester at a relatively good school in California.This year, I am taking Algebra 2 Honors as a freshman since I was able to pass the test that was required in order to take the class. Now, I don't know what is going to happen anymore because my grade is currently at a 81.59% but since we took a test today that I'm sure I failed, my grade is going to drop. Is this going to affect my admission to UCSD? I was planning on majoring in Computer Science and Engineering but I don't really know. Here are my grades in my other classes to help you determine my chances:</p>
<p>Spanish 1 A (I am taking this as zero period which is why I have an extra class)
World Geography A+
Biology A
Computer Tech A
PE B+ (I'm not that athletic)
English Honors A-
Algebra 2 Honors B- (going to turn into a C+)</p>
<p>The issue is why you aren’t doing as well as you should and how you will do in the future more than one C grade. Doing well in more advanced classes sort of makes the issue go away.</p>
<p>Considering UC’s don’t consider freshman year grades, don’t worry.
HOWEVER it’d be better if you could turn that around by the end of the year so that you have better mastery of the material (even taking a summer class if need be, not for credit) so that you can take Precalculus Honors AND DO WELL because that class will be much harder and will require you to know algebra 2 inside out, not to mention that your precalculus grade will be a crucial element of your UC GPA.
An alternative is to take Algebra2 “regular”, if at your school students with a B+ and higher can take the Honors version of the next level class.</p>
