iuw, this detail is of such import to your daughter's admission that I think you should call each school and clarify exactly how they apply the requirement that the student maintain the academic performance under which they were admitted (wording similar to this was in each of my son's admissions letters, public and private). Ask exactly how they would view a D first semester with a C second semester, a D first semester with a retake at cc and an improved grade, and a D first semester and no second semester enrollment. The schools may vary in their response. As for whether the Ds in prior rescinded students were in AP courses, I don't know, but assume that would not make a difference to the admissions committee. It is very competitive to get into Irvine, Santa Barbara, and Davis these days, and, unfortunately, your concern about the effect of a D (which I sincerely hope she can avoid) on the final transcript is justified.
