Honors vs. AP Physics

I'm a rising junior, and I've been put down for Honors Physics, rather than AP Physics.

Should I change it? I'm taking the hardest classes possible in all other subject areas (finishing up all history courses next year). My desired major is European Studies, North American History, General History, Creative Writing, or Comp Lit- something like that.

Should I switch to AP Physics if I want to get into Ivy League/very top LA colleges? I don't plan on doing anything science-y or mathy in college, but if I'll need AP Physics to get into colleges of my dreams, I might change.

I'd suggest taking honors now and AP senior year.

I would do AP, but that's just me. If you feel like you can't handle another AP class then maybe you should take honors so you don't end up lowering your gpa.
