Does doubling up in math & Spanish hurt my chances for college?

In my experience students who are very well prepared for calculus tend to find it to be straightforward. “Very well prepared” includes doing very well in all of the prerequisites. On the other hand, I have consistently heard that students who are shaky on any of the prerequisites can find calculus to be very difficult.

Generally speaking, what you are learning now in math is in most case based on what you were learning last year and the year before. What you are going to learn next year will be based on what you are learning now.

Which is perhaps a long way to say that I agree with @thumper1. I do not think that you should jump ahead in math. Instead, take your time. Take each class when you are ready to take it. “Pretty okay at math” is not the way that I would describe any student who should be jumping ahead in math.
