Regardless of how many math classes you take that D isn’t going to look good. Can you retake the class this summer to wipe the D off your transcript?

By impacted I mean it’s a lot more difficult to get into that major. At Cal Poly the three I listed are the most difficult majors to get into. Also at Cal Poly it’s fairly difficult to switch majors so apply for the one you’d stick with all four years.

I think UCSB and UCI are a reach for you because of the one D, you are OOS, and both UCSB and UCI are getting harder to get into. I was rejected by UCSB with a 3.8 UC GPA and an 1800 on the SAT. However, I did get into UC Irvine and Cal Poly.

Is that GPA you listed your UC GPA? Check the UC Website to figure out how to compute it. The UC’s will only give you the extra honors point for UC approved honors courses. You should be able to find your school and it’ll tell you which ones are honors to them.

Have you decided what SAT II’s you might take? It sounds like you’ll be able to bring up improve your SAT from the PSAT. I did the same thing, I got a 160 on the PSAT, took prep, and got an 1800 the first time I took the real thing.
