Need advice for senior schedule!

Hello everyone! I am currently enrolled in the PLTW Biomedical Sciences program and since I started a year late, I have to take the last 2 remaining courses in my senior year. The thing is, with the 2 courses in my schedule, I wanted to explore my interests such as AP Psychology (because I feel like I would major in the phys+biomed field maybe?), but I have no more room. I was also selected to be an AP Bio lab aide too, but due to tight schedule not sure if I’ll be available. Should I drop PLTW biomed or no? If I do, I would have my desired courses+interests, but dropping out of a program instead of finishing it would probably look bad… Which schedule should I stick to?

Senior Year (as of now):
Biomed: Medical Intervention
Biomed: Biomedical Innovation
AP Lit
AP Spanish 6
Engr Tech Hon
Physics Hon
AP Economics
College Algebra Hon

Senior Year (if I dropped Biomed):
AP Lit
AP Spanish 6
Engr Tech Hon
Physics Hon
AP Economics
AP Psychology
Lab Aide
College Algebra Hon

Both seem like very impressive schedules. Truly, it depends on your interests. If you’re into biomed, finish the courses. You can always self study for AP Pysch if you wanted to anyway. As far as the aide position, you could find tons of better lab positions outside your school if you look hard enough. Good luck!

I would not drop the Bio-Med program. You could always do what @stem1202 said and self study AP Psych or you could possible take the class online outside of school as a DE student. You will still get the college credit. However, if you are intending to be on the pre-med track in college, then they will most likely make you retake or take a higher level of psychology in college.
