Transfer Chance from community college

I’m planning to apply for Amherst College this fall semester. But unfortunately, I got a 3.0 in biology (human anatomy) this quarter (I failed, I know)

Now, all of my other classes are As. I’m an officer in two student leadership boards, vice president of the cinema club and lgbt club, ptk member. My let recs are good. And I believe my essays are, too.

Will this low grade ultimately kill my chance of getting admitted to Amherst, or generally any competitive schools?

I’m an english major.

Amherst College is a crapshoot for every transfer applicant.

Are you currently a freshman or sophomore? What is your overall GPA? Why do you want to transfer? Why a liberal arts college? Why Amherst?
