Electives

I’ve been looking at class requirements for some colleges (such as uiuc, Notre Dame, university of Wisconsin Madison) and they all say 4 years of English, 4 years of math, 4 years of social studies, 4 years of science, 4 years of language, and 2 years of “elective” or “additional academic/fine arts”. My problem with this is that I’m on track to meet all my requirements, but that leaves no room in my school schedule for 2 extra academic or fine arts electives. I am not in band or choir, so fine arts isn’t an option for me, and because my schedule is already filled up with the other requirements, I’m struggling to find room for additional academic classes. I take Honors and AP classes, and I am an athlete, so If you know if either of those factors would help as opposed to additional academic classes, please let me know! I’m just trying to figure out what to do.
