junior year schedule

I'm going into my junior year having only taken 1 AP, AP Stats, my sophomore year. I've taken 4 dual enrollment courses and I'll be taking 4 AP classes: AP chem, AP bio, AP lang, and AP calc AB. I'm worried that I'll have to cut down on my extracurriculars to be successful in these courses, especially after getting some bad grades during my sophomore year. I want to keep my unweighted GPA above a 3.8, but I'm worried that I won't be able to.

My extracurriculars are a cappella, choir, and rowing, and I also participate in clubs like model UN and fencing at school. Also, I'm taking the September and October ACTs, which means I probably won't have as much time to study for school during those months.

I want to major in Biology on a premed track, so I know that it wouldn't look great if I dropped AP chem or AP bio. What should I do?
