Should I drop this college level course?

Hello,
I have a question about my courses. Right now I am taking 5 APs, 1 dual enrollment and 1 college prep course, and 1 study free period. I was wondering, will taking a college prep level course lower my chances and GPA at a competitive college? For the course, this is the only level there are no honor levels for this course. So, should I drop this course and take an honors one instead? I am not taking any science courses this year, but if i drop my college level course, I can take human anatomy honors. Please what would you do and I appreciate any advice.

Thank you

With 5 APs I think it is good to have some lower pressure courses.

But at the same time, I think you should think about adding in a science class- most of the very top colleges I have listened to in info sessions say they want 4 years of all 5 core subjects (although they don’t advertise this on the common data set). For example, Barnard, Georgetown, CMC have all said this in info sessions.

What classes are you taking?
Overall, no, having a “regular” class will NOT affect the outcome since you have a super demanding schedule.
