Should I take AP Bio?

I hope to study philosophy and minor in history aka I’m not pursuing a career in the science field.

However, I am interested in Chemistry and Physics, so I’m going to take those two AP’s in junior and senior year respectively. But I have no, absolutely NONE, interest in biology. However I may end up finding it interesting, as I tend to do when I actually start learning it, but if I were to actually take the class, I’d have to take it while I’m taking AP Chem (and other AP’s*), and I’m not quite sure if I could handle that with my EC’s (I come home late every day of the week).

I’m a sophomore this year, and I’m self-studying AP Psychology and taking the exam because my school doesn’t offer the AP course, and I’m also taking AP US (class and exam), and I took AP World History last year and got a five.

I have, as many people here are, “high aspirations,” but I’m not a fan of the whole “GOTTA GET INTO IVY = 20 AP’S” deal.

*FYI: Junior year, I’ll be taking AP Chem, AP Govt., and possibly AP Stat.
Senior year, it’ll be AP Lit or Lang, AP Physics, AP Calc, and AP Econ.
(I’m not sure because I’m moving this summer. EEK.)
