I don’t know that I agree with the calculus issue. I do agree that one cannot sit out the year.

My 2 data points - older kid took calc and got into many top 20 LACs for a science major, attended a top 5.

Younger kid did not take calc but took programming which at her HS fell under the umbrella of math. Applied ED to a top 15 LAC (for a science major) so we don’t know how many others she would have been accepted at.

Even the highest colleges and universities teach calculus.
