Big dilemma bcp!

I will probably not take AP Calc, unless I do really well this year and my parents teach me precalc over the summer. I’ll probably end up in precalc in 12th. I’m just keeping slots open. I may not even take comp sci in 12th either- I won’t know til I make my schedule.
My question is more based on whether you need BCP (bio chem physics) to get into a good college, because my only chance to take physics will be this year (not AP) and I really a) don’t want to and b) want to take the other class I’m already signed up for in that bar. There is no AP Chem in my school, but there is an accredited (but expensive) college chem course that I could take in 12th.
I will definitely take AP Psych in 12th because I want to be a psychologist and that’s my dream class that I’ve been looking forward to since I entered high school. My other slots are undecided, which means that this whole dilemma may become moot.
Is there any really good reason to take physics? I’d love to avoid it.
In an unrelated question, is AP Stats a business course in college or a math course? If it’s a math course, does it make sense to take it instead of precalc if I plan to go into psychology?
