Has anyone here got into a top 30 LAC WITH A d on their transcript?
What is the D in and how are your test scores and overall GPA?
I would say if your transcript is really strong otherwise, and that this was an isolated incident or there was a good reason you would have a chance.
Overall GPA is a 3.2 and the D was in graphic design quarter grade Junior year, SAT is 1450. Applying RD at Grinnell as a basketball recruit. During the early read the coach told me they were concerned about the D. Extremely nervous but my mid year senior gpa is a 4.0 weighted.

There is a thread about an athlete applying to Grinnell. Its one of the most recent RD threads about Grinnell. You might want to read through it.
Same poster^^
I’d be more worried about the C’s in math and chemistry.
