What is more important?

So, in my school, we’re allowed to take 2 electives. I took Computer Science this year, and am planning on taking AP Computer Science next year. I’m also planning to take another year of art, on the 3rd year of a 5 year sequence offered by my school. I want to major in some kind of engineering or computer science in college, but I don’t have the time in my schedule to take Science Research or Engineering Capstone. Is it worth it to drop the art courses to take one of these?

Don’t drop the art. My kid (accepted to top Engineering colleges) has a fat schedule of Art classes. Didn’t affect her at all – she just performed well in the normal math & sci courses – nothing like your options. Plus, colleges know you might not stick w/engineering – they want evidence of academic ability and potential – not the perfect, science loaded to the max, schedule.
