Will failing one AS level affect my uni chances?

Hi,

Throughout the whole of year 12 I've despised biology and I very nearly dropped it in January - something I now wish I had done. I was reluctant to revise for my exams in it but persevered, however after Thursday's test I am certain that it will be significantly lower than the grades for all my other subjects.

As someone who has kind of unhealthily placed an extreme importance on my results, I feel so nervous that this one subject - this one awful AS level which I don't plan on taking into A2 - will negatively impact my future (uni apps and all that).

So I was wondering if anyone has any similar experiences or knows how much weight is placed onto AS level grades when applying to unis...I'm expected A/B in English Lit, Maths and Philosophy so will that be enough to balance out my bad biology grade?

Thank you ~
