Answer 1

The F and D don't count. You need a C or higher.

High School Subject Requirements

The CSU requires a minimum 15-unit pattern of courses for admission as a first-time freshman. Each unit is equal to a year of study in a subject area. A grade of C or higher is required for each course you use to meet any subject requirement.
Area Subject Years
a. History and Social Science (including 1 year of U.S. history or 1 semester of U.S. history and 1 semester of civics or American government and 1 year of social science) 2
b. English (4 years of college preparatory English composition and literature) 4
c. Math (4 years is recommended) including Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, or higher mathematics (take one each year) 3
d. Laboratory Science (including 1 biological science and 1 physical science) 2
e. Language Other than English (2 years of the same language; American Sign Language is applicable - See below about a possible waiver of this requirement) 2
f. Visual and Performing Arts (dance, drama or theater, music, or visual art) 1
g. College Preparatory Elective (additional year chosen from the "A-G" list) 1
Total Required Courses 15

How to Make Up Missing Courses

If you didn't take all the required high school courses or earned D grades in some of them, you have several options to make up these courses and qualify for CSU admission. You can complete appropriate high school courses with a grade of C or better either in summer school or in adult school. Courses in this category must be those found on the high school or adult school a-g course lists. Some adult schools may not have a-g course lists.

You may also complete college courses with a grade of C or better in the missing subject areas. Finally, you can earn an acceptable score on examinations such as the SAT subject examinations, Advanced Placement examinations, or International Baccalaureate examinations.

If you are unable or do not choose to make up your subject deficiency, you may earn at least 60 units from a California Community College or other college and transfer as an upper-division transfer student, where only your college performance is considered for admission.

Answer 2

Check with an entrance counselor at the college of your choice. I think colleges are more interested in your overall grade point average and your ACT or SAT scores. However, if you still have time, I would recommend that you take trig again, and this time get a tutor. In a way, I am surprised that your guidance counselor approved the trig class when you had done so poorly in Algebra II. Depending on what the college says, don't give up. You should be able to get into one of the community colleges. If you do well, you should have no problem transferring to one of the four-year schools.

Answer 3

It's possible but not terribly probable given the state of things in CA schools. They are overcrowded as it is! Your best bet is to take the class again either in summer school or from a junior college and make sure to pass it this time, at least with a C. Otherwise, even if you get into a state school you'll end up having to take remedial math before you can take any math courses for credit (and you will have to pass at least one). My advice is to retake the classes you have failed and apply broadly, to less desirable schools like Chico, Humboldt, Fresno etc.

Answer 4

making it up would desire to help besides the undeniable fact that from what I certainly have been analyzing Irvine is a little greater selective. As for long coastline many classes are impacted, i've got faith all of them and require a intense GPA. nonetheless persist with you may write on your man or woman assertion and clarify what got here approximately and the style you worked to advance your grades, which could continually help. additionally persist with to Cal State Dominguez&l. a. as backups. The greater back united statesthe greater efficient!
