Credit for Precalculus

Hi, I'm an upcoming sophomore and I recently challenged my Honors Precalculus course at my high school. Thus, I am enrolled in AP Calculus BC this coming year. The course "Honors Precalculus" will not appear on my transcript. Will this be an issue for colleges (Ivy League and comparable) when I apply for college (also, I am reasonably confident I will manage to get A's both semesters for AP Calculus)?

It shouldn't matter, as long as you can do well in calculus. I know a student who skipped pre-calculus and got 5's on AB and BC the following years.

Getting A grades in calculus is typically seen as an indication that you know the prerequisite math course material.
