Will dropping a class hurt my chances?

<p>So I'm a senior in high school, taking AP Physics C. </p>

<p>I'm not doing so well in it, so I was wondering if I dropped it would schools like UCs care? They wouldn't know I ever took it but would it hurt that I'm taking 1 less AP?</p>

<p>My current courseload is:
AP Calculus
AP Lit
AP Physics C
Economics CP
Computer Programming 1 </p>

<p>I wanna go to UC Davis, UCSB, UCSD, etc.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>IMO:</p>

<p>A in AP class > B in AP class > not taking AP class > C in AP class.</p>

<p>Lol yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing. I’ll most likely get a C if continue with the course.</p>

<p>However, UCs dont see your senior grades until you’re accepted (unless they specially request them), so the grade isnt that relevant. But general courseload is taken into account by UCs, so I’m wondering if my courseload will be too weak if I drop Physics.</p>

<p>Thanks for your input though :)</p>
