My daughter failed APUSH in high school (undiagnosed ADD.) Her GPA and test scores were still strong (the F brought her GPA down to something like a 3.8.) With the help of a college counselor we decided she should apply to schools that only looked at numbers. Nothing else - no deep dives into her transcript. She was accepted to and attended Penn State, University Park. Graduated with dual degrees in engineering and French and really did well. She continues to succeed. It’s possible and you’ll be fine. Maybe you have to rethink what “top tier” means and look at “top tier for you.” And you’ll still be fine.
