Will I get into a UC with this many electives?

Next year I am going to be a junior, and I plan on taking mostly electives (art electives). This is because I will be taking my core classes at the local college (dual enrollment). However, even though I am still taking my core classes outside of high school, something just doesn’t sit well with me about taking this many electives. Please keep in mind, my dream school is UC San Diego or UC Santa Cruz.

My course requests for next year consist of:

AP English Lang. & Comp.

AP Calculus AB

AP Studio Art: 2D Design

Chamber Choir

Digital Arts

French 3

Speech

At the community college I have/am going to take: US History, Econ, Government, and Chemistry.

Would it be wiser for me to switch to “smarter” electives, i.e. Engineering or Human Body Systems?
