Physics or AP Computer Science A

I am trying to finalize my senior schedule, but I am not completely satisfied. Colleges I am looking at are Tulane and womens liberal arts colleges. My senior schedule is:
-Literature & Film
-AP Statistics
-AP French
-American Goverment
-Physics
-Peace Studies (required)
I did not get all the classes I wanted because the APs I was considering are at the same time as the only AP French class that is offered, but the only other AP that is available is during my physics class for AP Computer Science A. I am not sure whether to change physics for AP Computer Science A because I know physics is required by some high schools. I looked at the requirements for colleges for sciences and most want 3 lab sciences, I have already taken; biology, chemistry honors, genetics honors, and AP Computer Science Principals. Which would be better for my chances of getting into a college I am interested in?

Principles.

Physics, being a core science, would be viewed slightly more favorably than an elective course, even if the elective is AP.

I agree…take Physics. What is your potential major?
Why AP Stats and not Calculus?

@bopper I want to go toward humanities and pre-law. My schedule just doesn’t allow for the history classes I wanted to take because they are offered during the only time that AP French is offered or during my required religion class. I am taking AP Stats instead of Calculus because I just want to take a math every year, even though it is not required but I think it would just look better. I am thinking of possibly taking another community college course for a semester to get in an extra history class but I am not sure if it is worth it.
