I did have to retake multivariable (calc 3) and linear algebra, but I'm grateful for that senior year HS class because: - the college versions were a breeze, which was a relief because the workload from other courses was high - having a good intuition about divergence & curl made physics (electromagnetism) easier, and linear algebra was used in differential equations before I actually took linear algebra

So I think for a high school student who knows they're heading for STEM, with room on their schedule, it can still be a good choice.
