my guess, or my preferred guess which i think should be allowed, is if the eligibility from ELC is revoked because of the D, you should have until the next grade to raise it to an A

that’s my personal opinion, but hey! im me, UC’s are UC, they obviously rule their system haha.

but yeah see your counselor and ask them. worst comes to worst… GET THAT D up to an A which will show your improvement, and hopefully UCs may think about that D as negligible because of some accident or something.

speaking of which i just got a really good idea… see what your guidance counselor says first, then if he or she says ur screwed then go to the UC app, and go to the addition comments (for the essay portion) and write WHY you got a D (now make sure its a good reason, not because you refused to study and was smoking too much pot or something, something like overload at work, or someone died in your family, or something… DO NOT FABRICATE IDEAS FOR SYMPATHY- thats just wrong…)

but other CCers please confirm my method, cuz im not 100% sure this is right.

good luck man! and try harderr
