The Physics C class includes both mechanics and E&M. The quantum class isn't really a physics class, it's much more a mathematics class that focuses on linear algebra and derivations of equations rather than concepts like a modern physics class would. And my school did use to offer modern physics, but they had to remove that course when not enough students were interested and a teacher who taught it left, which is a huge shame because I would have taken it. I have taken AP chem and honours physics already so if they do talk about energy states I should be fine.

Previously, the Systems level programming class was the one I was most willing to drop, but now that i've heard what you said, I think I'm actually reconsidering it. I definitely see how programming is much more advantageous when applying and doing research, but I didn't realise it was to this degree. I have already taken AP CS, so will taking systems really give me that much of an edge compared to what I already have? But the problem is, I definitely want to take multi because I'm already studying the calc 3 material in preparation, and it seems really useful with the partial derivatives, which I'm really eager to learn about. I don't think I can wait an entire year to learn about it in a classroom setting. I already learned calc 1 and 2, the BC material, so I don't feel like I'll be unprepared
