<p>I got in CSULB, and I graduated from high school with honors. But I got my report card, and I got a D in one of my elective classes. Will this effect my chances of staying in and attending CSULB? I already accepted my financial aid money and already signed up for CSULB's summer bridge program that I got in, but will this grade from my last semester of highschool effect me in anyway considering its an elective class?</p>
<p>Congratulations on graduating with honors, I’m sure that’s the first thing they’ll see when they review your transcript. That’s a huge plus, IMO.</p>
<p>My son is in the same boat as you are. What he did was he called the enrollment services number listed in the “final documents” email to notify them 562-985-5471. When he let them know that he was calling in a D grade they transferred him to someone who could bring up his admissions record, probably an Admissions Officer. The AO said it was a plus that it wasn’t in a required a-g course, but that they’d need to see if it dropped his GPA too much. </p>
<p>From there, my son asked questions…
Should summer class be taken, no was the answer.<br>
Should he contact the dept of his intended major, no - only admissions makes rescission decisions was the answer.
How low of a GPA was too low - it depends on your high school was the answer.
When will the decision be made - after we audit your transcript was the answer.</p>
<p>Definitely call in as I don’t want you to assume anything. My son’s major is not impacted so maybe the answers would be different if your’s is. There is no need to be nervous; they were very professional and not frustrated or aggravated at all - not hurried or impatient or anything other than helpful. Ask all the questions you can think of.</p>
<p>You can check to see if they have your transcripts by logging into the portal or calling in to 562-985-2500. It took about 3 days for them to get his. Haven’t heard anything since so we assume it’ll take awhile before his gets reviewed. Definitely check your email a lot in case they request an explanation.</p>
<p>Good luck…try not to let the anxiety get to you.</p>
<p>You definitely need to call them. Don’t wait any longer! I hope everything works out.</p>
