I am a current junior, picking my classes for senior year. The classes I am definitely taking are:
AP English
AP French
AP Calc BC
Theatre Arts
Leadership in a Diverse Society (a selective (but not curriculum-leveled) class which studies leadership and identity throughout history and is involved in planning numerous schoolwide events).

I have one space left in my schedule. Should I take standard Physics or Honors Chorus? Honors Chorus would boost my GPA and, quite obviously, be more fun (and actually very challenging), but would that make my schedule appear not rigorous enough? Basically, will it hurt my chances of getting in or not (ECs, SATs and recs are good; I have significant legacy). Registration day is tomorrow.

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

We can't tell you what you should take.

If you are looking for general advice, very selective colleges like to see four years of math, four years of a foreign language, and all three of the sciences (bio, chem, physics) on a high school transcript. They accept students every year who don't have that, but those are the things that make it easy for an adcom to go through the transcript with nothing but "checkmarks", flagging nothing that needs to be discussed in committee.

Having said that, don't put us in a position of telling you not to take chorus if singing is your passion.
