Junior Year Scheduling issue

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

So Junior year schedules are supposed to be finalized by June 1st and I am having trouble finalizing my schedule. I am interested in engineering or business, however I have not been exposed to Business. The two “schedules” which I am debating over are:

  1. AP LANG
    AP CALC AB
    AP COMP SCI

    AP ECONOMICS
    PHYSICS DUAL ENROLLMENT
    SPANISH 5H
    ARTIST ORCHESTRA

OR

  1. AP LANG
    AP CALC AB AP COMP SCI
    AP CHEMISTRY PHYSICS DUAL ENROLLMENT SPANISH 5H INTRO TO BUS. AND MARKETING

I’m not sure which “schedule path” to choose. For the past two years of high school, I have taken Orchestra. But I also would like to take a business class as well. For schedule 1, since I wanted to keep Orchestra, I added AP ECON instead of AP CHEM bc it is the closest to a business class. For schedule 2, I have AP CHEM and a business elective, however without Orchestra. For schedule 1, my top worry is tht I do not have an AP SCIENCE and that it might not be rigorous, and for Schedule 2, my worry is that dropping orchestra will look like I have no extracurriculars other than school and that there is no consistency in my transcript. I really need help and I am running out of time. Btw the school I am aiming for is UVA.

I’d go with schedule 1.
AP chemistry + dual enrollment physics is overkill and sticking with orchestra shows consistency, especially since you don’t hate it. Hs business class are vocational, not rigorous, and if you’re really interested in having a taste of what business is like, take an 'intro to business ’ at your local community college over the summer.
