I’m not sure what you mean by ‘accepted by colleges’

If you mean will they grant college credit for the course? That’s a question for the individual college. Every one treats both AP test scores and outside college courses taken in HS differently. And different departments within the same school sometimes treat AP scores differently.

If you mean will they view it as a legitimate rigorous college-prep class on your HS transcript for the purpose of admissions decisions, that is a different question.

I’ve never heard of changing classes at the semester to be considered a “course drop” for the purpose of admissions. Especially if the course you are going into is of equivalent rigor. Students do that all the time for any number of reasons including mundane things like scheduling conflicts. What would look bad is if you dropped a course and it showed up as an “incomplete” on your transcript.
