If all cadets arrived having taken Calculus then there would not be a need to offer Intro to Calculus or Calculus I.

The availability of AP classes varies widely from high school to high school. The Academies understand this. They look for a student who challenges him/herself in core courses. It is important to take a high level of courses - in most cases the highest level that your school offers.
Concentrating on the core math courses that include or lead up to Calculus is important as you will be expected to take Calculus - and higher - at all the academies. Taking Chemistry (with a lab) is also important as well.
