Cant fit Microeconomics into my schedule, how do I explain that to colleges?

Hello, I took AP US Government online so that I could have enough space in my schedule. Most “senior” classes do not have a 7th period. My schedule was messed up at the beginning of the year.
It looked like this:
1 AP Calculus BC
2 AP US Government
3 AP Physics 1
4 AP English Lit
5 AP Statistics
6 AP Biology

However, I already took US Gov online and Physics 1 in junior year. Because 1st period calculus had 50/35 people in the class, I was moved out. My schedule looked like this

1 AP Statistics
2 AP Calculus BC
3 AP Physics 1
4 AP English
5 AP US Gov
6 AP Biology

I did submit a schedule change form prior to the administrators moving me out. I wanted to remove Physics 1 and US Gov and add Microeconomics and Physics C. However, the only way to accommodate both classes was to go back to 1st period Calculus, which was too full. Although people have dropped calculus, there are other classes that are too full to accommodate any other students. I have gone through several schedule scenarios, each with their own problem.
scenario 1:

  1. Statistics
    2 Calculus
    3 Physics C
    4 Biology
    5 English- Too full that period
    6 Microeconomics
    scenario 2:
  2. calculus
    2 physics c- too full that period
    3 microeconomics
    4 english
    5 stats
    6 biology

My physics teacher didnt look too happy to see me in his 2nd period. But he never told me I couldnt switch. I showed him scenario 2 and all he told me was to ask my calculus teacher if I could move into 1st period. He didnt tell me class size was a problem like most of the other teachers did. I really want to take microeconomics but I can only settle with macroeconomics. We are learning about the same stuff except Im 1 concept behind on elasticity.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can organize my schedule? I feel like i tried every possible scenario yet there is always a problem.

Calc is 1-4… my teacher doesnt mind having too full of a class period
Physics is 2-3… except my physics teacher just told me his 2nd period is too full
Microeconomics is only 2nd and 6th
English is 2,3-4 and 5-6. 2nd period english is too full. 5th period English is also too full.
Statistics is 1-6
Biology is 3rd,4th and 6th period.

How about scenario 3:
1 Calculus
2 Microeconomics
3 Physics C
4 English
5 Stats
6 Biology

Honestly, schedule conflicts happen. Colleges realize that. If, and this is a big if, it is really necessary to explain, have your GC do it. I’m also assuming that you have already reached level 4 in a foreign language or are targeting colleges that do not recommend 4 years.

ugh whoops i made a mistake microeconomics is only 3rd and 6th. and there is no stats for 2nd.

And yes, I have taken 3 years of langauge in high school and 1 year in middle school

Well, like I said earlier, conflicts happens. You won’t be able to fit them all in. IMO, econ or stats is the most expendable. Drop one of them and find an online resource to learn them or just find some other elective. That many AP’s is probably overkill anyway.

I agree: Econ and stats are the most expandable since they’re not “core” classes. You already have a math so drop statistics for sure and replace it with a “fun” class (Foods/cooking, shop, theater production, current events…) As for Miroeconomics, it’s not required as a subject, however if you don’t take it you have to take another social science. So if you can drop stats and keep microeconomics it’d be the best switch.
