1) I promise you it's prevalent enough to consider it the default option. The better question is why even risk the possibility in this case.
2) We're talking about senior year credit anyways, so appealing to admissions committees with this credit is irrelevant.
3) The OP can still take AP coursework if their school will allow them to opt out of the exam.
4) The OP has not mentioned which colleges they're considering applications.
5) Taking AP Calc is certainly a reasonable tradeoff and with a known entity beyond the intro level.
6) There's never anything wrong in taking classes that a student has an interest in. If the OP really wants to take Anat and Phys, that's fine.
