I think it depends on the culture of the school. Where my D went to HS, the highest level of math was AP calc. No option for more advanced work in school and it was highly discouraged to accelerate beyond with DE courses.

Where we currently live, the public HS offers MVC as part of their normal accelerated math curriculum, so if you place into that sequence in middle school, you’ll end up in MVC. The really high achievers are taking diff eq and linear at the university.

Since this poster said her student is gunning for Cornell, Dartmouth, ND, WashU, and Williams, it does matter what his peers are taking. If there was a different wish list, I would have given similar advice to take what you want and not worry about it.
