First of all, don’t worry. You have plenty of time. Taking Calculus 1 in college even for engineering major is common. If you insist to take Calculus in HS, you have time to catch up such as testing out geometry or take a summer class. Note that you have several summers even before you start thinking about college application. Nevertheless, having a strength in math is a good indication of success in engineering. You do need to get a good Math section score in order to get into top engineering schools. But for that, you don’t need Calculus at all. If you do take AP Calc BC in high school and received great score in AP exam, then you may accelerate your course schedule in college by skipping Calc1 and 2.
