Should I Add One More Course?

@momtogirls2 Unfortunately, I am paying $2000 for a semester long course

As an Asian male trying to purdue STEM, I feel like I’d be at a disadvantage not taking a math class junior/senior year. Otherwise, I’d only have honors chem as a STEM course this year, as opposed to Physics C Mech, Calc BC, and Com Sci A from last year—with junior year being the most important, I don’t think this decrease in rigor is favorable.

Of course, this is a result of limited options at my school, but given the fact that I’ve already tried my best to take the classes I want, I’d assume the AOs want to see me continue the progression, or maybe they don’t. I don’t know. I’d rather play it safe and set myself apart with unique ECs and my essays.
