AP BIO vs AP CHEM??

I don’t think colleges (without requirements such as Harvard’s medical program, etc. have) would judge you if you picked one or the other. It’s not like you didn’t pick either.
The way I see it, you would get something out of either class.

I ran into your situation last year picking my senior year classes.
I personally ended up with AP Chem because the kids told me that the AP Bio course didn’t help them at all once they got into college. The AP chem course did, however.

My suggestion to you is: ask around. ask pre-med kids who have taken both which one has helped more once they got into college.
But you’re most likely going to re-take both intro classes in college anyway since if you’re a science major/pre-med/etc it isn’t recommended that you skip out of them if you receive a good score on the ap test.
