[quote=Anonymous][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]

Actually, the majority of schools are looking for 3 years of math.[/quote]
Unless your child is planning to major in engineering, math or similar the schools aren't going to get bent out of shape about whether or not they took calculus as a Jr, Sr. or if they took it at all. My DS is a rising senior, exploring to major in engineering or math and the math faculty he has spoken with at almost every school said starting freshman year in Calc 1 or Calc II doesn't make a huge difference in the overall program. OP, I know you're trying to do what's best but I think you are really over-thinking this.[/quote]
