Acceptance Help for Commerce!! (87% average, yet failing a course..)

I am a BC student and have applied for Commerce for five universities (UBC, SFU, Queen's, UWO and UVic) so far but haven't yet received an acceptance from any of them yet besides UVic. My current average is 87% and was wondering what my chances are for the other four institutions? I think my supplementary application was decent; included all the EC's I was involved with in the past few years, many forms of volunteering experience and have joined almost every school club there was.
Also, I'm worried that my Calculus 12 mark will lower my chances because I'm currently getting 48% and it states on my official transcript, an "I". Once the admissions team looks at my marks from the Ministry of Education website, it will state I'm not passing the course as of right now, but all my other courses are above 80%. Will this have any effect on whether I get accepted or not? I've browsed around the university websites but none of them state that students need to be passing all grade 12 courses in order to be considered and I'm not using it as a course needed to calculate my average either.
Will taking an online course have an affect on things? It's because I'm enrolled in Biology 12 Online and I'm using it as one of the four courses used for my admission average.

Universities look at top six marks. However, It depends on which faculty are you applying for. If Calculus was your pre-requisite, then your in trouble. For biology, make sure your marks on OUAC are updated and accurate. Inform a guidance counsellor immediately if you found any mistakes.Your average is good but I advise that you negotiate with your teacher to pass you. If Universities don't accept you before exams, your most likely not going to get in your program unless there in still space in your program and your marks improved after exams. This is just a personal speculation. Good luck. Applied To:

Oh yea,if you end up re-taking the course (Calculus) in summer school or whenever else you can, some universities only look at your first attempt at calculus or average your first attempt and second attempt together. I'm not certain if any of the Universities your applying to does it though. Applied To:
