I completed my junior year of high-school and passed all of my classes with As, except for Pre-Calculus H, which I ended up failing.
I cannot say that I am surprised since all the factors merged to result in this (poor teacher who recites, not teaches, lack of extra-credit opportunities, few grade inputs per quarter, etc.)
I am devastated, since I consider myself an excellent student. My GPA is a 4.0 (within the A-range), I hold in multiple leadership positions within and beyond my high-school, and I will have completed 12 AP classes by the time I graduate.
I plan on applying to Tufts, Amherst, Williams, John Hopkins, and other prestigious academic institutions by senior year.
How drastically will failing this class impact my prospects of getting accepted into the aforementioned colleges/universities?
I am really concerned.
