Much2learn:

Yes, there are other possibilities if needed, but if possible, and you are targeting top schools, I would strongly consider taking MV Calc next year.

The other suggested college math courses (discrete math, linear algebra, calculus-based probability and statistics) are not considered to be less rigorous the way AP statistics commonly is.

Much2learn:

For some reason the boys tend to stay on the MV Calc path, which is the most difficult. Girls tend to get nudged off onto other paths by people intending to be helpful, but it puts them at a disadvantage.

Are girls being nudged off to AP statistics or no math at all? Is multivariable calculus the only offering of post-BC math at this school?
