Do sports make a big difference in college apps? (I didn't make tryouts)

To answer your question: 1) As a general rule top colleges want to see HS students take a sequence of bio, chem and physics in HS. 2) Since you will not be a recruited athlete academics are more important than sports participation.

BUT again you are rushing things. You are a freshman. It is too early to be plotting out your junior/senior year science courses. See how you do in science/math during freshman and sophomore years, discuss course options available in your HS with your guidance counselor, and then make a determination as to what class will be appropriate.
