I would definitely ask a premed advisor to clarify your questions about prerequisites. Ruby Mason earsm@stanford.edu and Patricia Lewis patlewis@stanford.edu are very helpful. You can also check out http://premed.stanford.edu

I think 1 year of stats would mean at least 2 classes, probably 3. Which school requires a year of stats? That is an atypical requirement; most schools don’t care about stats, or they ask for one quarter.

For calculus, depends how much you need… again, schools differ in their requirements. Taking 3 math classes is the safest way to go; you’ll cover pretty much any med school’s requirements this way. I did Math 51 & 53 and Stats 60. You’re right about some med schools not accepting AP credit… Boo.
