" would receive a grade for the first accelerated Calculus 1 class in March and the Calc 2 class I would received a grade in May. Would it be too late for the UC’S to see my grades in those prerequisite class"

Yes that would be too late.

“I have completed all my other prerequisites with straight A’s. Will this W severely affect my chances?”

Any Ws you have will not be looked at, they are essentially erased as if you never took a class. (Doesn’t matter if you had 20). That being said the “hole” they leave may or may not effect your chances, for example, how you’re missing calculus. I was in a very similar situation to you last year in fact, and had a W from Calculus 1. I ended up being accepted to all the UCs I applied to, UC Berkeley, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, and UCSC. Of course there are a few differences, I was applying to UCB L&S, but my GPA was also way lower than yours. (3.68), and also you have to factor in any extracurricular differences. To sum it up, it’s really hard to say for certain if you’re accepted, but I wouldn’t automatically assume you aren’t just because of one W. I did and missed out on a lot of sleep I could’ve had.
