Getting C's-Do I have to write a letter to UC's?

Colleges & Universities University of California - San Diego

<p>I got C’s in AP Chemistry and AP Physics B (both 79.6%'s, I got screwed over in Chem, would’ve had a B- but there was a rounding difference). Both classes were much harder than I thought. I heard somewhere that if you get a C (or possibly two C’s) you have to write a letter of justification to the UC’s you applied to (for me, SD, LA, Irvine, Davis). </p>

<p>Is this true? If yes, when should I send these letters and where do I send them?</p>

<p>EDIT: Also crossposted to UC-General, I didn’t realize there was such a forum.</p>

<p>As long as you have a 3.0+ weighted, you are fine. Just avoid D’s or F’s.</p>
