I know it’s long but read it all please =x

So I may get a D+ (69.13%) for chem. I am an athlete that has been on a few official/unofficial visits and missed a few quizzes and tests. The tests I have taken but they were not scan tron (unlike the original test everyone else received that most people cheat on…) and were honestly 10x harder. I have talked to this teacher numerous times on the subject of what I can do to bring my grade to a 70 and he said there was nothing. Could I take the quizzes I missed?-no. Can I do extra credit?-no. So tomorrow grades are inputted and I will try one last time and be a pesky little **** until he hopefully rounds me up. I really do believe me taking the “harder tests” is what brought me down in the first place as I have a 100% in the homework and classwork category. That and recently my grandmother has been getting very sick and made several trips to the ER and my parents have been fighting a lot lately (numbed down a bit recently).

Anyways, if I do get a D am I forced to go to a two year (JC)? I applied to the mid-tier UC’s and privates like USF, Pepperdine and USD. If I do get the D I plan on retaking the course (obviously) and getting an A (B at the least) but would this be a waste of time?

Will the UCs just reject me flat out (and privates)? Do I send an email to all admin of the colleges I applied to about my D and explaining it (could what I write nullify me getting a D slightly?)

Any tips on what I should say to my teacher tomorrow to help convince him I deserve a 70?

I know I am asking a lot of questions but you college confidentialists should enjoy helping a fellow ccer out =D
