Unfortunately, I’m in the same situation as you! =(
I have a D/F in Pre-Calculus and I think I bombed the final too. I applied to UCSD, UCI, UCD, & UCR. I really want to attend UCSD but unfortunately I won’t be able to attend any of the UC’s with a D/F in Pre-Calculus. I never failed a class in high school! My overall GPA is a 3.7 weighted GPA =(
So, to answer your question…yes it will definitely hurt the chances of you getting in any of the UC’s. UC’s are becoming extremely competitive especially UCSD, UCLA & UCB.
If you can make up the class, go do it!! Talk to your counselor about what you should to do. That’s what I’m going to do! You should transfer out of AP Calc if you can!!
