I’m in the same boat was you. Bio is still a choice for me, but I think I’ve narrowed it down to AP Environmental and AP Chem. I’m considering Chem because it can knock down an SAT II subject test, since I’ll eventually need to send in three.
Decisions decisions…

For your case, AP Bio is a lot more about memorization and learning facts and the ways things work. Think of regular Bio from freshman year but MUCH more complex and into detail. If you took Chem this year (Soph), like me, then think of AP Chem as a lot more detailed and tougher. Plus I heard the AP Chem test is something you don’t want to go through…
A bunch of factors to determine.
