So I’m freaking out.

I’m an IB student. I’m a senior. I’m taking the most rigorous courseload offered at my school. My average GPA is a 4.1 and unweighted it’s a 3.7 (up to junior year). My weighted GPA first semester senior year is 4.0 and unweighted it’s 3.2. I just got a D in AP Calculus. I applied to UCLA, UCB, UCR, and UCSD. How does this affect my chances at those schools? And what should I do? Should I send a letter explaining the grade? Please, help! I really don’t want to get rejected. With the D grade, I have a 4.0 weighted GPA out of a 4.8 weighted GPA possible.

HELP!

BTW, I’m not a math person. I applied as a history major.
