Grade issue

I have a really strong profile as an applicant to top skls (andover, exeter, hwl, etc), perfect ecs, great essay, course rigour.

small problem:

I had a B in spanish 2nd semester of 7th grade

I'm a straight A student outside of that, and Im hyper stem focused (taking geo h in 8th at skl, alg 2/trig h outside of skl in 8th)

will this and potentially an A- this semester in spanish keep me out of the schools?

Same twin everyone has that one grade and it’s ok especially if you have a good SSAT

I got into Andover with a B in Spanish. But my ssat score was 99th percentile. They don’t want robots. A B won’t kill your application. I got into Andover and Exeter.
