Should I take AP Physics senior year or Forensic Science or NO science?

I know the above question seems pretty obvious to most of you. I’m asking because I’m not planning on entering a science or math field and very few people take Physics at my school at all (the only sci requirements are Bio, Chem and either Earth Science or APES). I originally planned on not taking any science senior year and opting to double in social studies courses instead. I was planning on taking:
AP English Literature
AP Statistics
Civics and Economics Honors (required)
AP Government and Politics
Newspaper 3 Honors (yearly-editor in chief hopefully)
PEPI 2
Tech Theatre 1

However, now I’m thinking I should replace Tech Theatre with Physics, as I want to gain acceptance into UNC Chapel Hill and colleges of a similar caliber (I’m in state for Carolina) and think that taking physics is seen as mandatory at top schools?

My options are to keep Tech Theatre or switch it for either Forensic Science or AP Physics. I’m not interested in taking the yearly classes AP Bio or AP Chem. If I’ve done pretty well in pre calc, the toughest class at my school, should I be okay in AP Physics, which many complain about but far less people take?

first of all can I just say that your school having a tech theatre class is so cool?? I wish mine did omg

I don’t know too much about the UNCs (I mostly just wanted to make the comment about tech theatre) but I will say that from my own experience, colleges (especially the more selective ones) really like physics, and AP Physics more so. Additionally, some actually have a physics requirement. But, as an AP Physics student right now, it is pretty hard.

Basically, if you want to look the best possible to a wide range of schools, take the AP physics. If you’re only looking at UNC Chapel Hill, then…I am not an expert and I’m sorry for wasting your time. And also I’m super jealous of your tech theatre class.

If you’re doing well in your math classes, it should be fine to take physics.
