Very unfortunate schedule dilemma...

Wow, I’m practically in the exact same predicament, with the only difference being a Chamber Orchestra for me instead of a chorus.

I think sticking AP Physics in the school year is very important. My replaced course to make AP Physics fit into my schedule happens to be Human Anatomy, which I think in some respects is similar to the Engineering class you mentioned (my school has one, too), in that both are not worth pursuing in their related-ness to your prospective major since colleges don’t know exactly what you’re getting from taking those classes (they are not standardized, unlike APs).

I would never want to replace Chamber with another course. Despite being a prospective science major, science (and every other) class has always taken a back-seat to music.

I think it’s unfortunate that your participation in chorus requires you to give up two periods; I am in one orchestra class, and it is just simply the best one out of theree that are organized. No need to have to stick to lower ones…

And the school year is almost beginning, so even if you contact school administrators, there would likely be little for them to do to make AP Physics and Chamber compatible. My school uses a computer program to set classes during certain periods to maximize the number of students who have all the classes they want. But some people are still bound to be disappointed.
