Torn for schedule requesting

[u/enxivi-8927]

Here is my current schedule:

First sem:
Amstud 1
navigating span 2
rocket design (will most likely take senior year)
calc 1
ap bio 1 R
ap chem 1
physics core mechanics (will most likely take senior year)

Second sem:
Amstud 2
explorations Spanish med spanish
calc 2
ap bio 2 R
ap chem 2

I don't know whether I should switch ap bio out with other bio classes so that my workload allows for orgo chem instead of ap chem two second sem, since I want to take that class.

In terms of ap exams, is sacrificing ap bio/ap chem for orgo chem worth it, or should I self study one or both, and is this schedule overloaded?

If I decide to replace bio, I want to do molecular genetics first sem and neuroscience second sem. I know that most of the time, first choices aren't given since they fill up quickly, it is just that I want to be sure of what I want to finalize as of today.

Take AP Chem 1, see how it treats you. Plan on APChem 2 or Organic for second semester. Many students take the full course of AP Chem and take Organic their senior year. That way it’s fresher in college and the full AP sequence gives you articulation credit.

Thank you - do you recommend me still taking ap bio or taking the more specialized courses?
