Question on retaking a class

<p>I called the UC Davis admissions office to ask, but their response wasn't clear.</p>

<p>I earned a C in first semester calc. If I retake the same class and earn an A or B, will the class with a C be factored into my GPA?</p>

<p>The counselor mentioned that it would be counted as a duplicate, but didn't elaborate.</p>

<p>Only the C will count. </p>

<p>The only time when a higher grade will be factored in is if you originally earned a D or F and repeated the course for a C or better.</p>

<p>i dont think you can retake a class you got a C in. only if you got a D or F…
so youre stuck with that C…</p>

<p>They dont allow you to retake Cs.</p>

<p>Now it makes more sense as to why my teacher offered to give me a D in the class instead of a C. Wish I took her offer now =/ Oh well, one C on my transcript won’t kill me.</p>

<p>Would it at least be a plus on my transcript if I retook the class for a better grade even though it won’t change my GPA?</p>

<p>you cant retake it!</p>

<p>If it can’t and won’t change your GPA how can it be of benefit to you? Lol. You can’t repeat a C.</p>

<p>I was thinking that maybe it would look better on a transcript to show that I am capable of getting an a even though it won’t change my gpa.</p>

<p>Why not just spend extra time on getting an A in calc 2? Retaking calc 1 would be a total waste of time and possibly hold you back.</p>

<p>I would take it during the summer. I had an a in the class all the way up to my final. Unfortunately I had some personal things happen the weekend before my finals which destroyed my 3.7 for that semester into a 2.8. If I retook it, it would be an easy a since I already know everything.</p>

<p>But I also have a 4 on my ap test which would show it.</p>

<p>Yea it’s not worth the time to retake</p>

<p>Alright. Thanks for all your input guys. I really do appreciate it. I won’t retake it and will just show my competence through an increased grade trend in my future math courses.</p>
