Will one D+ completely blow it?

Hii.

I just finished junior year of HS, and I’m getting ready to apply to Emory. I initially had a 4.0 GPA until final semester of junior year, but during that semester I ended up with a D+ in AP Physics because of extenuating circumstances that would be wise not to mention on a college application. (See my old old old thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-life/640195-help-he-drank.html )

So basically, since my transcript consists of straight solid A’s with one big D+ just bulging out, is it going to keep me out of Emory?

I’m really really freaking out here. PLEASE give me some advice.
