What can I do? I got a D in calc this semester!

<p>I’m a junior in high school and I plan to apply to UCSB…</p>

<p>But I know I have to replace the D, but when can I? </p>

<p>Do I have to retake it over the summer at a junior college or online?</p>

<p>Or can I just retake the first semester as a senior??</p>

<p>Help please??</p>

<p>Are you applying as a math or science major? If not, then you should be okay because someone I know who got a D in his math class still got in because he's a social science major. But if you are a math or science major, then you should retake it in the summer at a community college because it works out better that way.</p>

<p>business economics or communications</p>

<p>Choose business econ because communications major are for a bunch of dumb sorority girls who can't figure out anything else to do with their life. But anyway, take the math course again at a community college because in that way you also get college credit for the course.</p>

<p>do you know if you can take 3 weeks of it....just like the first semester?</p>

<p>Bc I should do way better the 2nd semester.....and I'm staying in the class.</p>

<p>And you go to UCSB....so do you think if I can't retake it....will the D kill my chances?</p>

<p>I already will have 5 yrs of math, not counting Calc.</p>

<p>If you take it over again, the D is not counted in your GPA, so it won't kill your chances.</p>

<p>I think you should retake the D as soon as possible because UCs only use sophomore year and junior year GPAs to calculate the UC GPA, so if you retake the class first semester of senior year, the D will not be replaced on your transcript, which will lower your overall UC GPA A LOT.</p>

<p>I got a D in Pre-Calculus first semester of junior year and totally freaked out, but my school offered Pre-Calculus 1 again in the Spring, so I took the class again in my second semester of junior year.</p>

<p>Well the only UC I'm applying to is UCSB....and even if I retake it my UC gpa still won't be at their average. So I don't think I'm going to, bc I would have to take it over summer, and I don't want to.</p>

<p>3.55UC with the D.....3.66UC without the D</p>

<p>Is it really worth it to have to go to summer school???</p>

<p>As for my other schools, I'm applying to UMiami, SDSU, ASU, and Indiana. So with my complete 9-11W gpa I'm confident in the rest of my schools...besides UMiami.</p>
