Sorry for bringing this thread up again, but I found a lot of the information relevant.
Unfortunately, I’m experiencing the very same situation this year, in 2010 ):

I just got my report card with a D in Lit, I’m going to try and see if I can cut some sort of a deal/beg my way to a C, but even then I’m screwed either way. My other grades are fine though, though lower, I only have 2 A’s and the other 2 are B’s this sem. I think I definitely hurt my chances for PRIVATES (2nd tier…Northwestern, Emory, Rice, NYU, CMU, etc) this semester, probably not going to get into any of them. Hopefully UCs will be my savior…and hopefully I can get that D raised…we’ll see…

So aside from writing a letter and perhaps sending out extra transcripts with (hopefully) All A’s for the first/second marking periods (our school has 4 total) , is there anything else I can do?

I’m desperate here and realize that I just screwed myself over, hard because basically I’ve been dicking around and really should have gotten All A’s or very close to it this semester…
