It really depends on the kid and on how the course is taught at the school. Mine took AP Chem, AP Physics, AP Calc BC (there was no separate AB), AP Spanish, AP French Lit, and the school’s AP English equivalent course senior year, and also was a 3-season athlete and pursued a fairly demanding music EC. He didn’t have a problem, and got 5s on most of the exams.

I agree that physics is very desirable for general educational reasons as well as for elite admissions.
