So currently as of right now, I only take AP Computer Science A as of right now because of the mandatory health course we need to take at our school. However next year (which is my senior year) I have space open for two classes, AP Computer Principles and College Engineering. Since I want to go into a STEM field when I get older, I feel like it would be beneficial to me.

However, as I am here now, there is a problem.

In sophomore year, I took regular chemistry (really easy, got a A+) and I realize that if I want to be competitive for a STEM field, I need to take a hard chemistry course. However, I can only then take AP Chemistry because it takes 1 1/2 periods in a day at our school.

So what should I do? Take AP Computer Science Principles and College Engineering or take AP Chemistry?

(I am also taking AP Physics I right now and taking AP Physics C next year if that’s important to factor in)
