Which Looks Better--Calc, Stats, or Computer Science?

My grade 10 son is doing a modification of the typical math sequence at his HS, since math is not his thing (Algebra I is taken in middle school in both cases below):

Typical (grade 9 to 12): Geometry, Alg II, Pre Calc, Calc (or AP Calc)

What S is doing (grade 9 to 12): Geometry, Math 3, Math 4, Pre Calc
Math 3 & 4 are Alg II spread over 2 yrs (slower pace)
Question: will this sequence limit his college choices? We are trying to optimize his GPA and overall rigor as best we can, knowing that he does not like math and will not be an engineer or have any math-related career. So far he has been a B math student.
