I don’t know the answer - it seems to me that even without “four years of math” you have more math than at least some other applicants. Don’t see how it could hurt you that you took Calc BC before your senior year. It seems, as Mom of 2012 and 2014 suggests that you have this “problem” because you were advanced in math when you started high school. I’d hate to think that admissions folks would penalize you for that.

Mom of 2012 and 2014 - don’t be so certain that what he took in middle school will show up on his high school transcript. In our district - a high school teacher comes to our middle school to teach the advanced kids their freshman and sophomore math classes. Because the class is taught at the middle school, it does not show up on the high school transcript. (It used to, when the kids used to go to the high school for math). Same class, different location, same knowledge - but not on the transcript.
