Why would you ever want to take environmental science unless you really care about the environment? It's just unnecessary buff - but only for top students. If you don't classify yourself as that type, there's no harm in another AP ;)
Hi !According to UMN AP credit policy, I will get 16 credits for Cal BC+Chem and 4 for Bio, Phy C each. At the moment I have decided that I should at least take Cal BC and Chem. Should I take any more APs ?.They are kinda expensive :/.
@Ascaris: As HCaulfied said, Credit Policies are different at all colleges!
But for engineering, I think majority colleges will be giving credits to Calculus BC, Physics C both parts, , Chemistry, Biology(some colleges only)an mico-macro Economics.
If you take Cal BC, no need to take AB- BC includes AB sub score, if you take Physics c both parts, no need to take Phy B.
This is just my opinion! BTW, I have taken 6 APs. and they are not that difficult.
@Shreeman3: They are expensive but if you look further ahead, they help you in saving money($!), when they get you credits! Of course you have to get a good score to get credit!

Again, as I said in my reply to Mrinal...depends on the college. Credit policy varies from college to college.
