Is my senior course schedule rigorous enough?

I’m currently a rising senior who already submitted my course schedule for next year, but I can still change classes up until July. I’m worried that my senior schedule isn’t rigorous enough compared to my junior schedule, especially since colleges like to see students continue taking difficult classes instead of dropping to easier ones.

Junior year schedule:

- Honors Biology

- Japanese (3rd year class)

- AP Lang

- AP Calc AB

- Religion elective

- APUSH

- Yearbook (staff member)

Here is my proposed senior year schedule:

- AP Biology

- AP Japanese

- Asian-American Literature/Graphic Novels

- AP Stats

- Religion elective

- AP Gov

- Yearbook (Editor-in-Chief)

I’m most concerned about the fact that I’m not taking another AP English class (AP Lit), and I’m opting to take AP Stats over Calc BC. Would colleges see this as a bad thing?
