retaking class because of a D

  1. As of now, you have not met the minimum a-g course requirements due to the D in Algebra 2. Retaking Senior year will replace that D, but you still need to report the grade on your applications and it will be included in your CSU/UC GPA. Why did you not retake during the summer?

  2. Is your UC GPA 3.3? I will be honest that your chances at a UC are slim, possibly UC Merced, especially since you have not passed the minimum level of Math required. Any competitive CSU’s will be an issue also for the same reason.

  1. I am assuming you have not taken any other Math class higher than Algebra 2? If you have, CSU/UC’s allow for grade validation which states a passing grade in a higher level Math class will validate a below C grade in the lower level class.

  1. I would concentrate your efforts on applying to non-impacted CSU’s whom may be more forgiving with the D since your final grade will not be available until after admission decisions are made in the Spring.

Good luck and have you contacted your GC in regards to this issue?
