Will not taking AP Calculus make me not get into the Ivies?

I’d look into skipping precalc. At my school, S1 precalc is just an unnecessary algebra II review and S2 is trig. Most of the trig I’d learned in Algebra II, though I’m not sure how typical that is. The only new thing I got out of precalc that is relevant in calc and beyond was trig identities.

Alternatively as others have suggested, double up geometry with one of the algebra courses or take a summer course.
