How much does a B- in AP Calc AB hurt in senior year?

This will be my only type of B on my transcript and my other grades are as follows
AP Stats A-
AP English Literature A-
Chemistry A+
Spanish 3 A

All A's and A-'s freshman, sophmore, and junior year.

I also have a 800 on SAT I Math and 780 on Math IIC, but I've clearly indicated that I am more interested in the humanities. So how much would the B- hurt? I'm applying to Dartmouth Early by the way. Thanks a lot!

You are doomed. Give up all hope.

I was actually in a really, really similar situation. I had a B in calculus first marking period, and was really worried as all my other grades were As/B+s. What I ended up doing was actually not sending my first marking period grades, which was not a problem as they frequently have to make the decision without seeing them anyway. Thankfully, I was accepted and no longer had to panic about my calc grade. Moral of the story? Don't worry too much! Yeah, try to get your grade up, but don't stress out at night and panic about it. Life is too short to get caught up in something like that.
