will no AP credit for calculus hurt me for Wharton?

When I first moved into the States, the teachers made me take geometry at my sophomore year, and precalculus at junior year(I slept through the entire class and I'd still get an A+)
And as a senior, I have'll to take AB calculus which means I wont have any AP exam credits when Im applying to Early Decision next year.

I have 5s for all my AP exams - stats, us history, macro, micro, psychology
three of them being studied independently.

Will these condition hurt me at all? I know wharton "strongly recommends" calculus, and I will be taking calculus in my senior year so....

somebody please help~~~~~

my school offers BC but my schedule was so messed up since I've been schooling in three different continents for the last four years of my high school career. And because I didn't have the credit for Geometry, ALG2 and precalculus, I had to take all those again (which I knew too well) the teacher let me skip algebra2, which is rare case. should I try to get my teacher to write an explanation of this credit issue? or is it just not gonna matter at all
