Do you have an option to take courses at a local college? Even at schools that do accept them, AP environmental science and statistics are typically credited against only a semester course each (so they would be considered lightweight AP courses if your high school spends a year on them). So you may be able to get a true college level statistics course in a semester (perhaps even a calculus-based statistics course if offered).

Other schools’ mechanical engineering programs may or may not require statistics, but if they do, they would likely require a calculus based course (i.e. AP statistics would not count).
