Starting in Calc 1?

So I’m going into Biomed engineering and I just got my AP scores back. I got a 3 on AP Calc which figures since I suffered from senoritis and laziness. I got a B+ in my class but barely even studied for the AP test (which is my fault). So I’m going to have to take Calc 1. What really worries me is whether I’m already behind the game compared to my classmates.

I know that I won’t fail at life if I start at Calc 1, but does anyone have any experiences with starting at Calc 1 for engineering? Will there be any differences when applying for a job/internship in the future? Like will a manager choose a guy who took harder courses over meh?

Maybe engineering isn’t cut out for me… I’ll see when I go to college…
