senior year grades dip, how much will this matter

Hi!
So I am currently a senior at a competitive high school in New Jersey and am struggling a bit. I had a pretty rigorous schedule last year (AP Bio, APUSH, AP English, AP Calc AB, and Honors Spanish) and this year I have a slightly less rigorous one (AP Stat, AP Spanish, AP Macro, AP English II, and Academic Physics) but still with several challenging classes. However, due to a busy schedule plus college apps, my grades are slipping a bit. I don’t have any Cs but I feel like I’m most likely going to end this quarter with a B in Academic Physics, AP Stat, and AP Macro. While Macro is difficult, Stat and academic physics are known to be easier classes but I’m honestly just not good at them. My gpa last year was around a 4.2 and will probably be a 4.1 this year - I was just wondering if this change will be bad for college admissions? Or should I not worry too much?
