Mathematics when applying to Wharton

Hi everyone, I understand that Wharton places a great deal of importance on high school students’ math records. On their website, it states that they expect students to have taken a “strong preparation in mathematics, including calculus”. I plan to take a highly rigorous curriculum throughout high school (through calc bc senior year), hopefully receiving A’s in all my classes. I received a B in honors algebra 2 freshman year, and I am paranoid that since Wharton emphasizes mathematics so much that this will hurt any chances at admission. Will getting straight A’s in future math courses, especially calc, make up for this? (I realize there is much more to top tier college admissions than grades). Any input would be greatly appreciated.
