@gyanbone: did your daughter get 95-100% in Algebra1? Was it algebra 1 honors or “regular” algebra 1?
A strong sequence for a business school would end in Precalculus Honors in 12th grade.
It’s EITHER stats OR AP Stats, and it’s better to wait till college to take a calculus-based stats class. AP Stats can be a GPA booster and a good complement to another math class.
Please note that for a top MBA, it’s better to have a “traditional” (Liberal arts) major than to have a business undergrad degree. So if her goal is Stanford or Harvard MBA, she should plan to major in one (or a combination of) Math/applied math/stats/data science/CS, foreign languages, economics, engineering, philosophy/ethics, environmental science/physics/chemistry… and have internships where she hones her skillset.
