Junior Year Course Load - Enough for NU?

Hello! I will be entering my Junior year in a few weeks, but unfortunately the way my school’s master schedule turned out, I was cheated out of one of my AP’s this year (AP Psychology) and any electives of any sort.

My classes this year now only include:

AP English Language and Composition
AP U.S History
AP Physics
Pre-Calculus
Italian 4
Band/Chorus
Phys. Ed Leadership Program.

The only class I can pick up is AP Statistics during my lunch period, but I’ve heard mixed reviews of the work load and I do not want having the extra burden to bring down my grades. On the other hand, this list of courses looks pretty empty. (At least to me!)

I’m aiming for NU and would like to know what I should do to give me a better shot at getting accepted. Is my course load how it is enough? Or should I pick up Statistics?
(By the way, my senior year will most likely consist of 5 AP’s) Thanks for all of your help!
