I don't know if it will impact admissions about whether you take AB/BC, but I would definitely try to take BC, just to make your time easier when you will be at MIT. Applications of calculus to other subjects (physics, for example 8.012, 8.022) will extensively use your skills in Taylor Series, vector calculus, parametric equations, motion in polar coordinate, which are covered better in BC. So if you're not going to take it, at least self-study it (heck, I'd even study multivariate if I were you. It's a very self-studiable subject, and reinforces your calculus skills).
