Hi! Does one B hurt chances for college admissions?

I would not worry about it either.

On the one hand assuming that you do not have a working time machine it is done and past. Also, even the top universities do not seem to expect students to be perfect in every possible way. Instead the top ranked universities are looking for very strong students who are exceptional in their own way. Your way might be different from my way, and that is okay.

Also, I know many people, including myself, who got into top ranked schools with a few B’s here and there. I do not know if I ever got anything better than a B in English (for a full semester), and I still attended MIT for my bachelor’s.

Make sure that you also apply to at least one and preferably two solid safeties, look for universities that are a good fit for you, do as well as you reasonably can, and you will be fine.
