<p>I will be applying to UCD in the next few months and have kind of a low GPA (2.71). after this fall it will be going up to a 3.05 because I am repeating two classes which I got a D and an F in. how much of an impact do my fall 2006 grades have on my application? do I even have a shot of getting in with an initial 2.7?</p>

<p>Major: Managerial Econimics (all lower division prep classes completed)
GPA: 2.71
ECs: 100 hours of Community service a year
WORK: 30 hours a week average for the last 4 years
HISPANIC</p>

<p>“Repeated courses shouldn’t count against you,” my counselor said. I don’t trust him though :(</p>

<p>not with the 2.7. Yes if you repeat the D and the F.</p>

<p>No, repeated classes do not count against you. I myself repeated a history class I got a D in. If anything, it shows persistance and perseverence.</p>

<p>There are more extreme cases on these boards where people rack up a lot of Ds and Fs and then completely turn it around (only to get into the UC of their choice…UCLA/UCB etc.)</p>

<p>I am going to repeat the classes but the grades won’t be available until after fall 2007…will it be too by then? I know you have to submit your fall grades but do they even look at that when deciding whether or not to admit you?</p>

<p>they make decision AFTER you turn in your fall grades</p>

<p>u’re the first to site ur race as part of ur stats… WHY?</p>

7

<p>i’ve always wonder how big of a part race can play in the admission process and why does minority have priority (or so i heard)??</p>

8

<p>everyone knows the standards for minorities are lower</p>

<p>stupid question but here goes:
okay so if you fill out the application in the fall and you dont put your grades on it, how do they get your grades for that semester so they know if they will admit you or not?
Im concerned because my gpa is 2.9 right now but when i retake a class i got an F in this upcoming fall, and if i get straight A’s(which is my goal and I KNOW i can do it, im very motivated now) my gpa will go up to 3.4. That will be a huge factor in applying for schools</p>
