I currently go to Moorpark Community College and was interested in petitioning to retake a Physics class that I got a C in. It significantly brings my GPA down and I think that it would be extremely beneficial when applying to UCLA this November. If I were to petition to the dean, what do you think my chances of being able to retake it would be?

I imagine not very high. They aren't swayed too easily. You better have a damn good reason as to why you couldn't get a better grade on the first time around.

Who knows, you might get the dean who says "A C is a very good grade, you know."

You'd probably have more luck petitioning your professor to change that grade to an F.

i am looking to do the same thing. however i got a grade c in an elective, so it has nothing to with my major, and it drags my gpa down. is it still unlikely?!?!

a c is a passing grade. Repeats of passing grades are highly unlikely.

Yeah, I was majoring in Psychology and it was one of the classes needed to transfer (Physics) and then I changed to Sociology so I feel stupid for ever taking it and especially for getting a C. I guess it seems like there is nothing I can do about it now. Thanks all for the advice.

Even if the school allows you to retake the course, most likely the UC campus would not factor in the newer grade since the course was completed with a "C" grade previously. This depends on how the final transcript would appear; I'm assuming they wouldn't be removing the "C" grade from your transcript if they allow you to repeat the course.

Thanks so much for the advice. I guess I will just ride it out with a C.
