I'm a high school senior and I'm applying to the USAFA. I have a question about my classes. Right now I'm taking AP Physics. It is the most difficult class that my school has to offer and I'm considering dropping it for a few reasons. First, it is extrememly time consuming. We have homework due two or three days a week and each assignment takes about 3-4 hours. Also, on days when I don't have homework due, I usually spend at least an hour at school working on a lab. Combine this w/ year round sports and I have very little time to spend on my other classes and can't always finish all my (busy)work. I also just want to be careful not to get burnt out too soon. On the other hand, I know that SA academics are extremely demanding too. Does anyone have any advice?
Also, would the admission boards frown upon me dropping this class? I have a 3.93 GPA (USAFA scale), a 33 ACT, and I would still have multiple AP/honors classes if I dropped AP Physics.
