Will a few B's keep me from a selective medical school?

So for the standard pre-med requirement courses I have the following grades:
Bio 1: A
Bio 2: A
Gen Chem 1: A
Gen Chem 2: B
Orgo 1: A
Orgo 2: A
Orgo Lab: A-
Physics 1: A
Physics 2: A
Biochem: B

But I have a science GPA of 3.9 and overall GPA of 3.92 because I got mostly A's in my math courses (I'm a math major). I also got a 524 on my MCAT. Do you think my non-A chem courses will keep me from an admission to a selective med school? I can retake the biochem course this summer and potentially get an A in it. Is this worth it?

No

dude relax... plus with that mcat, just be well rounded and you shall be good

Sounds like a pretty solid application with that gpa.

I'm hoping this is is a trolling post designed to give stress-relief. But no, you should be fine.

Oh hell, It's app season, isn't it.

The median at Harvard and Stanford class schools is 3.9. That means their students are as imperfect as you.

As long as you score in the 99th+ percentile on the MCAT, have excellent ECs, and interview well, you still stand a chance.
