AP Statistics v. APES? Other options? Senior Schedule Troubles

Hi all! I'm currently struggling to decide between AP Statistics and APES or a few other classes for my senior year schedule and would like advice. For reference, my past classes have been:
Freshman Year: H English, H Integrated 2, H Biology, Spanish 1, PE, Health/CCP
Sophomore Year: H English, H Integrated 3, AP Chemistry, Spanish 2, PE, Photography, H World History
Junior Year: AP Lang, H Pre-Calc, AP Biology, Spanish 3, AP Seminar, APUSH
For senior year, my planned schedule is currently:
AP Lit, AP Calc BC, AP Spanish, AP Research, Gov/Econ, (APES, or AP Stats, or AP Photo, or ASB)
I think that I would enjoy stats more as a class, but I don't know if it's worth giving up a fourth year of science. I look to major in either business or a pre-med, and would like advice for which to take. AP Photography and a student body class are offered as well, which would be more fun for senior year as well, as options.
I look to attend one of the UC schools, UCLA as a dream school but also possibly irvine, or san diego, something of that style.
Thank you!

And AP Photography is not a thing. Unless your school has some relationship with Associated Press.
Be sure you're speaking with your GC about these choices and that your stats put you in line for one of the UCs.
If you want to take AP Photo then you should swap out AP research.
