How badly will a B- in BC Calculus reflect on my chances at T10s/T20s + NYU

Applying to College

Ya so I applied as a Public Health / Biochemistry major. I have a pretty decent track record with math, but I screwed up pretty horribly on my BC Calculus final, and I’m getting a B-. GPA was never my strong point if that’s important at all. However, I have decent course rigor. I’ve taken as many APs / honors as I can. I have great ECs / essays and I got pretty good awards too. How badly would this be taken?

Also, this would be my 6th B. All of my other Bs have been in honors-level french. My uw would be a 3.85 after this.

You will still be a strong applicant. Do your best. Your admissions decision will have very little to do with your B in math/french

100% agree that is will not be a big deal. My older kid had a lower GPA than you do and got into T20s.

Is that weighted? My daughter has an unweighted gpa of 3.8 with one b+ and some a- (which affected a merit scholarship at a public university, would’ve been higher if they used test score like usual).
