Senior Year Scheduling Help

It’s time for senior scheduling, and my parents aren’t agreeing with my choices.
My schedule is:
AP English
SUPA Economics and SUPA Public Affairs (College level courses)
AP Calc BC
AP Latin
AP Art
Business Law
Symphony Orchestra

My parents are disagreeing with my choice to take AP Art next year, saying that I should take AP Bio or AP Chem instead. They say that it will increase my chances of getting into college. If I were to follow them, it would probably be AP Bio.
I’ve taken the AP World Exam (5) and the AP Chinese Exam (5), and I’m currently taking APUSH and AP Physics B. My GPA is in the high 90s. I haven’t gotten my SAT scores back yet. I’m planning on studying business or history education in college.
Some colleges I’m looking into include UPenn, University of Chicago, Cornell, Dartmouth, NYU, and SUNY Stony Brooks. Does my schedule seem good enough or are my parents right? Should I drop AP Art in favor of AP Bio?
