Junior Year Schedule

So for my junior year schedule I have AP Chem + Lab Period, Calculus BC, AP English Language, Regular US History, and Piano. I am considering dropping Piano because I already took an Visual Arts Class last year (Photo) to fulfill A-G requirements and I don’t want to waste my time in that class. But I heard from my friend that if I drop Piano then it would look bad on my junior year to UCs since this year is important and that I am less productive because I am only taking 5 periods. Is this true?

Do piano outside of school.

If you drop piano, I suggest you pick another elective to fill its place.

Perhaps if you drop piano you could up Regular US History to AP US History since you’ll have one more free period.
