UC’s have grade validation for D’s and F’s in Math, meaning if you complete the 2nd semester with a C or higher, it validates that D or if you complete a higher level of Math, then it also validates that D.
UC’s do not use 9th grades in their GPA calculation although you do have to report the grade, you are fine in meeting the a-g course requirements.
You need to calculate your UC GPA and post your Capped weighted UC GPA, UW UC GPA and Fully weighted UC GPA to give you an idea of your chances. A capped weighted UC GPA below 4.0 will be a tough admit at all the UC’s except UCR/UCM and UCSC.
Also you need to bump up your test scores to be competitive for any of the Mid-tier and Top Tier UC’s. Some statistical data to help target some realistic schools.
