Seeking math dual enrollment advice

Take Multivariable or Linear Algebra or both at the T25 if possible. Either/or is fine, or find out which one is “first” at that institution and take in that order. My super mathy kid was lucky in that her HS offered MVC and LA taught by a phD at the high school based on the local university(T60 ish) syllabus. The order was LA then MVC based on how it was designed. While it was a great opportunity, this university-course based syllabus ended up covering half maybe less per semester than what was covered in each of the semesters at UPenn (she looked at the syllabus in advance and did not attempt to place out). Penn incorporates DiffEq in the MVC/LA semesters, but still was surprising a decently ranked university-based syllabus went much slower than a top school. A public HS our area does true “dual enrollment” for LA and MVC at the T60ish, and those parents have also noted how slow the pace was compared to their eventual top college. I say all this to caution that the T25 could be a brisk pace change from his high school! Good luck!
