So I'm wondering, last year I got a D in Organic Chemistry because I attend UCSD and the class was ridiculously hard. I am retaking it next quarter and hope to get at least a B. The B factors into my GPA, not the D, but the D still shows on the transcript.
Additionally, I took a summer class this past summer (Developmental Psych) at a community college. I was really unfocused because my friend who's in the Army came back for his leave for about 3 weeks. I hadn't seen him in more than a year, and I probably won't see him again for more than a year. So I ended up remembering the wrong date for the Final for the class and didn't show up for it, so I received an F.
So I know bad grades are really not what schools want to see, but I'm wondering exactly how bad it looks and if I still have a chance at getting into some schools.
Any info helps and is appreciated.
Thanks.
