Hello! So I’m applying to some academically difficult schools (Columbia, Harvard, etc.) along with some conservatory-style programs in Vocal Performance (BU, Carnegie Mellon, etc.). Next year, these are the course I’m signed up for:

AP Calculus BC
AP English Lit
AP Spanish Lang
AP Music Theory
Honors Physics
Chorus

Will highly competitive colleges penalize me for taking only 4 traditionally “academic” classes? I am pretty sure I’m going to be a music major if I choose to attend a liberal arts school. Does it show special interest in my field, or does it look like an academic cop-out? I tried to take other difficult classes to balance my music classes out.
