How hard to get into 130s Calc

Anyone here familiar with the classics? I’m looking to possibly major in the classics, in their language and literature intensive variant, since I already know quite a bit of Latin (5’d the Latin Literature AP and am in AP Vergil this year) and really want to know Greek to almost the same extent…it seems like the best way for me to do it, although it is a class-intensive major (17 credits required, I know).

I guess my question more has to do with how Chicago handles AP credit…my 5 in Latin Lit qualifies me to place out of all the 10000s Latin and the first quarter of one of the 20000s sequences. If I get a 5 on Vergil as well, will that just reinforce my previous 5, or might the classics department be willing to let me place out of even more classes? Also, for languages or other subjects in which you have a required AP grade to get out of a class (or two or three or what-have-you), does Chicago still want you to take the associated placement exam, to double-check what you know, or do they just need the AP credit?
