Dropping an honors class?

Applying to College
1

My schedule for senior year is as follows:

AP Lit
AP US Hist
AP Enviro
AP French
AP Psych
Honors Precalc/Trig
Physics

I am aware that this is a heavy course load, and I am heavily considering dropping honors precalc. My question is how badly will this affect me for college admissions? I took honors algebra 2 last year and only received a B as well as a B second semester of honors geometry, so obviously math is not a strong suit of mine (applying as a history major). Should I continue with the honors math track or drop down to make my schedule more bearable?

I would not drop honor pre-calc.
I would drop AP Envrio (you have a science) or AP Psych before that.

agree, keep honors pre-calc, the two AP courses bopper mentioned are considered fluff by adcoms, at the risk of being blunt about it.

Keep Honors Precalculus/Trig. Our high school had an excellent AP Environmental Science teacher, and my son really enjoyed the class. His college also gives AP credit for it. Ask around about your school’s AP Enviro and AP Psych teachers; keep the class with the best instructor and drop the other.
