Would one B screw up my chances of getting into an ivy league school?

<p>I'm currently a junior and I have one B, in Spanish 4 Honors, which I'm ****ed about, because I have the second highest grade in that class and my teacher won't help me because according to him, "I'm doing phenomenal". Next year, I'm thinking of applying to Cornell, U Penn, Brown, UVA, and Washington & Lee, so I'm worried that this is going to screw me up.</p>

<p>I know that admission to college reflects your whole body of work, so I have made a little resume below. </p>

<pre><code> Junior Classes
</code></pre>

<p>Chemistry: A
Advanced Guitar: A+
AP US History: A (one point from an A+ though)
AP English Lang/Comp: A+
Pre-Calculus: A+
Personal Finance: A+
Spanish IV H: B+</p>

<pre><code> Other Info
</code></pre>

<p>Weighted and unweighted GPA not including Junior classes: 4.33 / 4.0</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: National Honors Society, Keys Club, National English Honors Society, National Science Honors Society, National Math Honors Society, Guitar Club, Performing at guitar concerts and open mics, pickup lacrosse games, 150+ hours of volunteer work</p>

<p>Interesting Story: overcame a major speech disorder, visual processing disorder, POTS syndrome, and dyslexia to come to where I am today</p>

<p>Leadership: Group leader at "Church Camp" for church, I am doing a leadership summit at UVA over the summer, and I am considering running for secretary of National English Honors Society</p>

<p>Test Scores: 32 ACT, 2200 SAT</p>

<p>So now that you see my story, how much is this B going to affect me in the great scheme of things?</p>

<p>For ivy leagues, they say you shouldn’t be able to spell anything with your grades. So if all you can spell is BAAAAA, you’re fine.</p>

<p>Yes, that one B is going to prevent you from future success…might as well close the door on that dream now.</p>

<p>Just kidding.</p>

<p>Rock on, almost-A student. You’re going to do fine…enjoy high school…enjoy your ECs…stay smart.</p>
