What colleges require calc unless applying for Engineering?
No, they are completely separate approaches. Analysis is pure math, theoretical, math, etc. Applications is contextual work problems. You could probably do analysis year one and get through applications year two, since about 70% of the content overlaps, but the way the material is studied is fundamentally different. (at least at my school.)
You can do Apps in 10th and switch to analysis in 11th
Year 1 to year 1, yes. Year 1 apps to year 2 analysis, no (at least, nowhere I’ve taught)
That was my comment. Yes apps 1. Then analysis 1 (followed by 2).

No. That's the same class, twice, essentially. It would be the equivalent of asking to take geometry and then geometry honors the next year. 3/4 of the class is the same material, they write the same paper, etc.
