I went to a college prep school and have a 3.79 GPA of mostly advanced classes. I have impressive ECs, and a 1530 on the SAT. The summer before senior year, I took 2 classes at a local community college, a bio one where I got a 98.9% and an English class where I got a 68.7%, or an f. I got this because I somehow forgot to turn in the final paper although I had a very A in the rest of the class the zero I received from the no late work policy and my forgetfulness caused me to fail the class.
So anyways, at a lot of schools, I have to disclose these classes. How big of an impact will this one negative grade have on my chances of admission to college (specifically ucsd, ucla, uw, brown, uiuc, and case western)? Do I still stand a chance at these schools?
Also, I have autism and adhd which I’m disclosing the additional information section which can, in part, explain my forgetfulness, I’m not sure if this will help me but thought worth mentioning.
