It is unlikely that calculus will be a necessary prerequisite for any course you need for the majors you list, so it is not a big deal if you do not take it immediately. Even if you choose to take a calculus-based statistics course (for political science or similar subjects, though usually they accept a non-calculus-based statistics course), it will not be a long prerequisite sequence, and high school calculus AB may be sufficient for that anyway.
