i just found out i have 2 additional Ds on my transcript. one in english 3honors and one in US history honors and my junior year already past. i'm already going to take summer school for english to make up another grade that i messed up on. i'm really worried that i won't even be able to make it to a CSU.
is it possible to still get into one? is it too late to retake it in my senior year? i don't think i did well on my SATs as well.
 
If it's one of the more popular schools like Long Beach or Pomona than you will need to make up for it with good test scores and extracurricular activities; remember you don't have a personal essay like on UC applications so it might be difficult to present yourself (for others though it's better not to have a personal statement, depends on your writing skills I guess). But if it's one of the other, less impacted campuses, getting in even with a few bad grades shouldn't be all that difficult. I know my brother got into Cal Poly Pomona with a few F's and D's and no real extracurriculars. If you can show that you took the time to make up the classes I'm sure you'll get in. Maybe not into your top choice, but I'm sure you'll make it into a few campuses.
