My chances of getting in for Computer Science

I ended up getting a B in AP Computer Science and B in AP Calculus due to family issues will this reduce my chances of admission. Out of the 44 coursed I took I got B’s and B+'s in 4 of the courses. AP Calc and Comp sci are 2 of them. How can I communicate to colleges that the reason I got those B’s were because of family issues.

I suppose it would technically reduce your chances compared to getting As. But I think your profile is quite strong with 4 Bs/3.89. My D had several Bs and a 3.8 and is entering her Senior year at Purdue.

I’m not sure I’d try to “explain” two Bs out of 40+ grades.
