Big dilemma bcp!

This is my elective schedule for eleventh and twelfth grades. (In my school, electives are time slots where you can pick which subjects you want to take from a range of necessary subjects, like sciences, and fun stuff, like fencing.)

11th:
Bar 1: Algebra II
Bar 2: AP Bio
Bar 3: Debate
ASL
Bar 4: APUSH

12th:
Bar 1: AP Calc/Computer Design (another dilemma that I’ll save for another time)
Bar 2: AP Psych
Bar 3: Not sure (electives are chosen by popular agreement, so I’ll have to see what’s available)
Bar 4: AP Gov
Bar 5: AP English

So I took Bio in 9th and Chem in 10th and this year I’m taking AP Bio. 12th I probably won’t take a science unless you count AP Psych. (I plan to be a psychologist or psychiatrist.)
So here’s the thing. I hear all this stuff about how colleges like 4 years of science, and BCP, and stuff like that. I don’t think physics will be offered in 12th grade (it’s been offered for 2 years which means it probably won’t be next year) so if I ever take physics it will have to be this year, in the slot which now contains debate and ASL, which I want to take. My principal likes me so I could probably finagle a change in classes, but I DON’T WANT to take physics! Will colleges hold it (or the fact that I’ll only have 3 years of science) against me? What’s more worth it in the long run?
I have a lot of other things that I want to do this year, like Intel STS, History Day, Dupont Challenge, and lifeguarding and WSI. My parents say it doesn’t matter and I should do what I enjoy. I worry about it, though.
Should I change my schedule?
