I have taken two AP courses and I'm going into my junior year. I plan on taking five AP courses next year, since I'm interested in all of the courses. But, I also want to self-study Environmental Science since it's not taught either at my high school or Florida Virtual School. I'm lucky since between my high school and florida virtual school offer a huge diversity of AP courses, except for AP Environmental Science.

I am taking AP Bio as one of my 5 courses and I want to self-study Environmental Science so that I can learn more, and show dedication to the environment (almost all of my ECs are environmentally related and I think me doing well on the Environmental test as a self-study would only supplement those.) However, I'm also taking online courses (Latin 2 and Pre-calc) so I'm worried about the course-load next year. But, I also read the old posts and pretty much everyone agrees not to do your only self-study during your senior year since colleges don't see it as credible without previous ability.

Should I try and cram an Environmental self-study into my already packed schedule for next year, or should I wait and hope they believe me? Also, I already know alot about the environment so do you think it will be fairly easy for me to self-study it?
