Do I need to take PreCalc?

I’m applying to mostly small, competitive LACs and a few big universities. I have will have taken french, history, science, english, and math courses for all four years of high school along with multiple rigorous drama courses. Most of my classes are challenging AP and honors classes. I have a very high GPA as well. My only weak link is math-- I can get an A in an easier math course, but it’s not at all my strong suit. I really, really want to avoid taking PreCalc my senior year to avoid even more stress…instead I am taking a much easier course (Trigonometry/Statistics). Will this seriously hurt my chances despite my other challenging classes??
