You should not try to accelerate in math unless your math teacher thinks you are clearly ready. Taking Calc early- vs. taking it in sequence and doing well in it- is a bad idea.

You should be trying to become the best version of yourself- not building a more competitive resume. If that means EC’s that are not bio related- great! If that means reading more fiction, painting, learning to sew, that’s great.

You continue to learn about biology by covering off the basics in HS- as rigorous a math track as you can handle, within reason, taking chem and doing really well in it, taking physics once you are ready, etc. Science is increasingly inter-disciplinary- which means that the “lines” between bio/chem/physics/math/engineering/computer science are increasingly blurred. Getting a good foundation- being interested in the world- developing good communication skills- all of these are what you should focus on now.
