<p>My school does offer Calculus (Regular, AB, & BC) - however, a prerequisite to take BC is Honors PreCalc (and a prerequisite for that is Honors Algebra 2 - and a prereq for that is Honors Geometry, and etc etc etc). This is only my second year at my current school, and PreCalc was all I could get into. After struggling with the course, my college counselor actually recommended I take AP Stats, and she understands that Brown is my first choice (so I would assume that she knows what I’m doing won’t look bad… 
).</p>
<p>Also, colleges all over the US only ask that you take until Algebra 2 (I’m already two courses above Algebra 2). Sure, it would look way better to take Calc (specially an AP Calc course), but, not only will I not need Calc for my intended major, but I actually enjoy Statistics and I plan on demonstrating that through my application (or my interview - I actually talked about how I like Stats in a previous interview and it seemed to go over well). Plus, an AP is an AP (if I were to petition to get into Calc, it would most likely be regular - and I can only imagine the scheduling conflicts that would arise. I’d most likely have to drop several of my other courses, which I do not intend to do).</p>
