My D18 had the same situation and took AP Stats in 12th grade. But she also took MVC as Dual enrollment at a local university. The MVC was not all that challenging but it was nice to get an introduction to the topic. She did not submit her MVC grade or transcript when she applied to colleges (she got an A). She actually really enjoyed AP stats and found it interesting. I don’t think the colleges that she applied to cared all that much this path she took for math in 12th grade. She was accepted to all 5 colleges she applied to including SCEA at Harvard.
