<p>Hi, I am a junior at a Northern California HS
I took AP Bio and for my first semester I got a D but for the second semester I got a B. The A-G list requires two years of laboratory science (bio, physics, chem, apbio, ap chem, etc.) and I already took biology and chemistry prior to junior year and in senior year ill be taking physics.
So with that one D, am I ineligible?</p>
<p>You should call one of the schools and ask. I am no expert, but if you have covered the requirement with three other science classes already, it seems to me that AP Bio is an “elective”. From the UC Website:</p>
<p>Since AP courses are awarded extra honors points, if a high school senior gets a D in an AP course, does that count as a C?</p>
<p>[Calculating</a> GPA | UC Admissions](<a href=“University of California Counselors”>University of California Counselors)</p>
<p>The university awards the bonus grade point for Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and UC-approved honors courses in which a grade of C or higher is earned. An honors grade point is not assigned when the grade earned is a D.</p>
<p>and further:</p>
<p>If a student who has satisfied all his “a-g” requirements takes an extra math class and gets a D, will it be used in his GPA calculation?</p>
<p>Grades in all “a-g” courses, even those in excess of the UC eligibility requirements, must be reported on the application and are used in the GPA calculation.</p>
<p>So it sounds like your grade will count in your GPA (as a D), but you should still get credit for completing the a-g requirements from your other science classes. I would call an admissions officer to ask for sure. Good luck.</p>
<p>It shouldn’t be a problem, as far as eligibility. The only thing that it is of consequence to is your GPA. </p>
<p>So don’t stress, and good luck!</p>
