AP Physics and AP Calc are more important for CS majors than AP Bio.

The advantage of doing these in Junior year is that you can report those scores when you apply to college. Technically, APs are only supposed to be used for placement and not for admission decisions, but general wisdom is that showing APs with 4s and 5s strengthens your application.

So: if you can take 2 APs in junior year I would recommend Physics and Calc. If only 1, then Calc.
