Dropping AP hurt USC chances?

<p>I went to the doctor today for my physical, and we were talking about school. I took two AP's my Junior year (I scored 3 on both -_- ), and I'm planning on taking 3 AP's my Senior year. With my load of activities though, my doctor was like "You should seriously reconsider dropping an AP, because it's unhealthy for you blah blah..." then my MOTHER was like YAH YOU NEED TO STOP GOING TO BED AT 3 AM!! So I'm torn, like...do I drop Envi Sci AP and go down to another science (like Physics H or something) and just go with Lit AP and Calc AB AP, or do I take the science AP and like have an "unbalanced lifestyle"-my doctor?? Regardless, Im REALLY BAD at these tests, so I'm pretty sure I"ll score a 3 on them...4 if I'm lucky...so I'm so lost like USC is my dream school and I haven't taken nearly enough AP's to show that I'm challenging myself, but if I take these 3 AP's my Senior year, I know I won't score like THAT well (trust me.), I won't "enjoy my senior year" -my doctor, but doing so WILL show that I took the initiative to take harder classes. What should I do...and look at my post below "tell me i have a chance" to see my gpa n stuff to see if it's even worth it to take the class</p>

<p>AH!</p>

<p>APES isn't exactly the hardest AP out there, so I think you might be okay dropping it. On the other hand, if it isn't that hard, then you might not really be adding all that much to your courseload. At my high school, Honors Physics probably had more homework and the tests were harder than ES. Then again, I've never taken Env Sci so I wouldn't know exactly.</p>
