<p>a D is actually considered failing so the answer is no, you will not get the credits. I'm not sure how this will affect your admissions decision but you should do two things: a) talk to the prof in that class and see if there is something you can do to get that D to a C- and b)call UCSD directly and ask them about your situation.</p>
<p>Take a closer look at the admission contract, other than the 2.0 overall in the quarter it probably has a requirement stating that you need to get a C or better in any major requirement courses. That's what it says in mine, so just take a closer read.</p>
