No 4th year of Math?

Hello, I am currently taking a overly rigorous schedule consisting of AP English Lit., AP Physics C, AP Statistics, AP Computer Science, AP U.S Government and Spanish 3. On top of all that, I have 2 varsity sports that occupy a lot of my time, and are considered classes by themselves. I go to school at around 6:30-6:50AM everyday and leave after practice at around 6PM.

Anyway, I just took my first AP Statistics and felt that I got completely overwhelmed(Probable D+). My teacher does not curve or drop tests, and we only have 3 tests per semester, including a tough final( no quizzes and trivial homework points). Previous students said his class was extremely tough, and after my performance, I agree. I am considering dropping this class from my schedule. I believe I already have 4 years of Math, since I took Algebra 2 during the summer so I could take Calc AB last year, which I got an A+ and a 5.

I am applying to top 20 schools+ UC’s. Considering I have already finished Calculus and taken a summer of Algebra 2 to get ahead, would schools look down on not doing math my senior year, even though my schedule is still rigorous?
