Usually a semester each, depends on the school how things are combined. For a year of analysis, it can be multivar with intro to dif eq. These are HS intro classes

OP, I get what you're trying to do here, but I don't think it really is all that helpful. There are so many things that go into a college's admission decision (ECs, recs, gpa, etc.) that is really is impossible to know how any one math class is going to affect your student's situation. There will be students who take an AB Calc/Stats math path who end up at Harvard and students who take MVC+ who end up at a much lower-ranked school.

Just curious what you think most helped your student get accepted to Princeton CS? That would be one of my DDs dream options

Also depends what courses are available to students at different schools. Colleges take that into account.

linear algebra/discrete math, Wellesley for economics and data science

Are elite colleges using an A in BC Calc junior year and A in Linear Algebra senior year as the current gate-keeping mechanism? Grades in those courses certainly have a much higher ability ceiling than the SAT.

major is also relevant with this

For those of you whose children went beyond BC Calculus, where did they take these courses if they are not offered at the school? My DC's school tops out with BC and AP Statistics. Also, did your children take any math courses over the Summers?

This is correct. The highest level of math our school offers is AP Calc AB, and that’s for seniors.
