My daughter took AB… never took BC. She thought about it and decided her personality did not need the additional stress. She also never took AP US History, etc. She decided at the time to go with her interests, and those classes… at the time… were not her interests.
The guidance counselor checked off “most rigorous.” She got into schools with low acceptance rates ( one was 10%) … and had no hooks. We also live in an over-represented state.
One math class should not matter. It’s not about who has the most AP classes.
