<p>Do you have a “F” for the year. You totally flunked the course, or did you fail the course last quarters and can average it out.<br>
Frankly, I think your chances for the schools listed are zero unless something very unusual happens. There are kids with your stats without an F, but an A in Precalc H junior year that are not going to be accepted at those schools because there aren’t enough spaces for all who apply with those stats. So, yes, that F makes it very easy to drop you, when these Admissions Officers are looking for reason to cull at these highly selective schools.</p>
<p>My advice is to start looking at some far less selective schools that do not have to look for reasons to cut students and look for reasons to accept. </p>
<p>You certainly do NOT have a 4.0 unweighted at this point in time, and junior grades are the ones scrutinized. So, though you can work with your GC to mitigate the damages in that course, and find out what options you have in terms of retaking the course and whatever, if an actual F shows up in math junior year, without some really good reason, or remarkable hook, you are out of the running for the top schools. </p>
