I received a "D" in Pre-Calculus, will I still get in UC?

I am from MA, and know little about the UC’s, but I have a friend who graduated last year, that was accepted to UCLA, and received a D+ in Physics (Junior Year). It hurt his grade, however, he was able to take classes at a local community college, after school during the winter months. The D+ remained on his record while applying, but UCLA recognized his determination to complete the course adequately (with the help of “progress reports” from the professor), and was accepted during regular decision. Essentially what I am trying to say is that schools appreciate kids who are willing to take the extra time to better their mistakes. In your case with BC Calc kicking a**, repeating the course will only make your application stronger.
