“Post #6, college will care before they admit you. Otherwise you may end up doing HCI.”
LOLZ. I also have a graduate degree in HCI (human factors engineering), and a legit undergrad engineering degree, calculus and all. And undergrad and grad computer science degrees. I’ve spent 3 decades designing and coding user interfaces, from GKS and Curses in the mid 80’s to X Windows in the 90’s to HTML5/Javascript and QML today. True, colleges will care but the thing is, if you have the time and energy to study Calc BC in high school, go to EECS/CE/EE/et-al. I don’t think anyone would cringe if you get a BA Comp Sci vs a BS.
Computer science, in my mind at least, is all about using your skills to solve problems in many diverse domains and work in large teams. That’s where the communication and comprehension parts come in.
The classes that most people have a tough time in undergrad CompSci are generally Probability or Discrete / Combinatorics math. There, all the calc in the world is not going to help you. AP Stats, such as it is, and some HS course in ‘finite math’ or ‘linear algebra’ comes handy.
