Question about UC Validation Policy! Pls Help!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

I recieved a D in the first semester of AP Physics 1 and then a C in the second semester. I’m aware that one of the UC admission requirements is that you can’t have a grade lower than a C in any of your ‘A-G’ courses, and I’m pretty sure AP Physics 1 falls in that category. I looked at the validation policy for UC and my course would be validated but the website only states that this applies to Mathematics and LOTE (lang other than english) courses. So here are my questions…

Can I even apply to UC’s now (my UC GPA is actually pretty good a 4.23 fully weighted and 3.81 capped with this class included in calculations)?
If not, how do I validate this class (got a 780 on Physics subj. test though and I received an A for both semesters in AP Physics 2 Junior year… took phys 1 and sophomore year lets just say stuff happened outside of school :/)?

What do I do!!! Pls help me solve this dilemma!

Your 2nd semester C in AP Physics 1 does not validate your 1st semester D, so unless you re-take the 1st semester D, your D will remain on your transcript and be included in the UC GPA. You can validate the D by taking the Physics Subject test and getting a 530 or higher or by passing the AP exam with a 3 or higher to fulfill the a-g course requirements.
