I agree with the others who suggested taking more advanced Physics as opposed to AP Chem is not going to be an admissions issue (with a HS-level Chem class already on the transcript).

I also agree there is a better chance AP Chem will get you an advanced placement and/or usable credit. Although for placement purposes, if you look for colleges that use a Physics placement exam, that might be good. Credit is another matter, though.

But again, I personally would simply not worry about it for admissions purposes.
