How does my course work look?Answered
Hello, I want to know if my coursework looks good for somebody interested in going to a more selective school and STEM major (Biochemistry). Do I need more AP classes or a specific class that would be helpful to take? I feel like I'm not doing enough, because most of my peers are taking 6-7 ap classes Jr/Sr year whereas I'm taking half of that. (I'm currently a sophomore)

In order to up your chances in Stem, you should probably do a math course during the Summer. As pre-calc won't cut it, so if you do a class over the summer like Algebra II. Then you can do an AP Math which will be key for a Stem Degree.
Otherwise, your courses look great for Stem, if you want you could do Stem internships as that will also look great.
Hope this helps.
this looks fine, you might even have to cut it down if you find it's too much. you can also take summer classes if you want, and don't forget EC's. EC's are seen as the most importnant, but you want both for sure.
