I’m a sophomore and i’m interested in majoring in some type of engineering in college. Can anyone give me advice for my schedule? I’m estimating what it will look like, note that we don’t have AP Physics C.

Only 5 courses at a time? Is this a school where each course is double size so that a semester course is like a year at most schools? (But the AP physics and some other courses are not consistent with that.)
I think many freshman engineering programs require a " Chemistry for Engineers" course. Have you taken any chemistry? If you know which colleges you may be interested in, take a look at their current degree plans to see what courses will be taken freshman year. Also look at their AP credit charts to see which classes (if any) they give credit for. Have you taken any foreign language?
11th grade you are taking three Math courses, History, AP Lang, AP Physics, Band . Why take AP Stats? You don’t need 3 (or even 2) math classes.
What about a foreign language? You should try to get to level 4 of a language.
12th grade: Why more american history? Do you have to do this? Why not AP Psych or Economics or something like that?
