My eldest took zero her freshman year and one sophomore year. I do not believe it was a problem whatsoever. She only took the AP’s In subjects that interestsd her and not what she thought adcoms wanted. Took online onlevel world history as she hated the subject over the summer to make it more palatable. Many kids do poorly in human geography and world history because they take it to look good for college since there are few AP’s offered to freshman and sophomores. If you are not interested in the subject avoid the AP class. If you are taking it solely to increase your AP count you shouldn’t be taking it. People don’t excel or love every subject. Know your strengths and weaknesses and use that as a guide to choose classes. Hence, taking none in your first two years of high school is no big deal.
