Am I overthinking a B in Calc II for IB recruiting?

I'm a freshman at a small non-target school, graduating in 2030, international and hoping to break into IB.

I completely messed up my second Calc II exam, so I'll probably end up with a B in the class. If everything else goes as planned, I should still have around a 3.89 GPA by the time recruiting starts.

I know coming from a non-target + being an international already puts me at a disadvantage, so I'm kinda worried this just makes things worse.

Am I stressing over nothing, or is this actually something I should be concerned about? Would love to hear from anyone who's been in a similar spot.

You shouldve studied more if you are overthinking this much calc 2 isnt hard.  Just reread you go to a non target school so its fine if you do shit in calc 2 since if you struggle with it means you werent cut out for target school math anyways man.
