I need advice for my junior year schedule! Should I take APES or not?

So currently I’m planning to take
Ap English 11
APUSH
AP Bio
APES?
Algebra 2 Honors
Jap 3 Honors
I need help deciding if I should take APES or not? I heard that colleges don"t really like it? But at the same time I know that i will get an A and it would be a great gpa boaster since i am applying to UC Schools. So i’m kinda stuck on what to do? Our schools AP chem is extremely hard and everyone gets C’s and I’m planning to take physics senior year. And Btw i want to go to UCI or UCSD and be a pharmacist

I think it’s really up to you. If you’re very interested in environmental science and would like to take as an elective, go for it! I don’t see any harm in doing it, especially because you’re already in three other APs. However, it is not necessary. If you not do not have an interest in APES, the time is better used on another class you enjoy, even if it is not an AP.

About colleges, they’re usually okay with it as long as you have taken a year of physics, chem, and bio at some point in high school.

Best of luck and have a good day!

Thank you !!!
