Is this a strong high school schedule?

Applying to College

Here is a skeleton of my planned high school schedule (already completed 1 year). Assuming I complete all courses successfully, is this schedule strong for competitive universities like UCLA and Cal?

Freshman:
Honors English 9
Honors Biology
Honors Algebra 2
French 1
Girls PE
Dance Elective

Sophomore:
Honors English 10
Honors Chemistry
Honors Pre-Calculus
Honors World History
AP Biology
French 2

Junior:
Honors English 10
Honors Anatomy and Physiology
AP Calculus AB
AP Chemistry
AP US History
French 3

Senior:
AP English (2 options, still undecided)
AP Psychology or AP Environmental Sciences
AP Calculus BC
AP Micro/Macro economics
AP Gov
French 4

Of course, this is not a finalized schedule and I’ll probably end up lightening my senior load but would it affect my chances whether I took AP Physics or Physics (regular) if I am going into the Biological Sciences major? And how much would it affect my chances if I did not take AP Chemistry? How heavily is Chemistry looked at?

First of all, take one year at a time. See how you are doing each year and then plan for the next year.

Second, the opinion that matter is that of your guidance counselor. If you are looking to apply to highly competitive colleges then they want to see your guidance counselor check that box that indicates you have taken the most rigorous courseload available at your HS (which does not mean taking every AP). So if you ask anyone, it should be your guidance counselor.

Most colleges like to see bio, chem and physics. I would consider taking physics instead of AP Environmental Science, Honors Anatomy & Physiology or possibly even AP Chem.
