I’m not sure the classes I take next year will hold significant weight in the admissions process.

They will. You list your senior courses on the app

physicalchem:

Is there a specific reason to prefer AP Chem over completing the physics series with AP Physics 2 next year?

Six of one. One half dozen of the other. If you’d rather take AP Physics 2, go for it. My only reason for suggesting AP Chem is that you are more likely to get credit for AP Chem. But it depends on the college.
