[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP, I think the choices are Multivariable Calculus or AP Statistics, depending on the school.

OP here - I guess one of my questions is:  if DD ends up not being the keen STEM type, can she stop math with AP Calculus (AB or BC) in 11th grade or will that limit her College admission potential?  [/quote]

Most colleges want to see 4 years of math during high school. You should look at the expectations of a couple of colleges you think your DC might end up being interested in to see. So she'd have to take MV calc or AP stat. [/quote]

It is also worth noting that some of the most selective colleges do not view AP Statistics the same way they view Multivariable and Matrix Algebra.  If your child does not plan to take Multivariable they may be better served taking AP Calculus AB in 11th grade and AP Calculus BC in 12th grade if they choose to take Algebra in 7th grade. They can always take AP Statistics as an elective. Selective colleges want to see 4 years of math in HS no matter how far up the chain the kids started in 9th grade. [/quote]
