Hello, I was wondering if I have a chance to transfer into UC Berkeley if I have failed a class previously. It is my first semester in college and I currently have 3 A’s and a D. If I end up with a D at the end of the semester and retake the course with an A, will I still have a chance in getting into UC Berkeley’s EECS program when I transfer out?
It depends on whether you can justify the D as under some extenuating circumstances… otherwise, it’s hard enough for someone with a spotless transcript to get into EECS, and a D, regardless of whether you retake the class, won’t help
