One year Transfer with an F?

I’m going to CC for a year and then hoping to transfer to LA, SD, Cal, or SB (meaning I would be applying this fall 2015).

I know you must have complete 60 semester/90 quarter units to be able to transfer. I currently have 4s and 5s in 10 APs and 8 credits from dual enrolled CC courses. I looked up how LA counts its APs for credit, and it seems like I have 50 + 8 = 58 quarter credits so far.

One problem is, I have an F in another CC course that I attempted as a senior in HS and blew it off as I didn’t have time with taking 5 APs and studying for standardized tests (I was foolish not to drop it). My other 2 CC courses are A’s. I have a 4.0 unweighted from HS with a lot of AP and a 35 ACT (would my HS GPA/ACT even be considered?).

So if I retake the course in the fall and take a total of 5 classes and earn all A’s, what would my chances for transferring to one of those UCs be? Would they just see the F and throw away my app, or could it be ignored after being replaced in the GPA calculation and due to the circumstances? The F would still show up on my transcript. My GPA with the F in calculation would be a 3.5, with the F retaken it’d be a 4…would UC calculate the GPA with or without the F?
