“Algebra II is what most people take. However I do know kids who take pre-Calculus as sophomores, and even a kid who took Calculus as a hs freshman. I don’t think it would especially help with admissions, although it shows you’re very good at math everyone learns the same thing in the end anyway, just at different times.”

That’s not true. The kids who take Calc so early and want to continue will do multivariable calc, number theory, etc., something many kids lose interest in after one college year of calculus.
