AP Spanish or AP US/Comp Gov?

Hey guys!

So I am in a little dilemma for what to take next year.

I will for sure be taking the following courses next year (senior):
AP Literature
AP Calculus BC
AP Biology
AP Micro/Macro Econ
Newspaper

But I can’t decide whether or not to take AP Spanish 4 or AP US/Comp Gov. Here’s why.

I wish to double major in Econ and Political Science in college, so Gov seems like the way to go (and I’ll for sure be taking Econ). Plus, I am much more interested in Gov than Spanish.

But, AP Spanish just seems like it would be way more impressive for college admission purposes. However, Spanish 3 was my only A- I have ever gotten in high school (and I’ve taken 6 AP classes and gotten 5s on all of them, so my school’s AP courses aren’t exactly easy, since they do prepare you well), and AP Spanish will obviously be much more difficult than Spanish 3.
The teacher will be the same, too. I don’t want to get a B and not be able to become the valedictorian, because I have worked so hard to get this far.

Which one do you recommend? Both seem like good choices to me, and I can’t take both.

Thanks guys!
