How bad is not taking physics in high school?

Given the choice between Honors Spanish 4 and Honors Physics, I chose Spanish since it better aligns with my career goals (journalism) and I felt I’d do better in the class than in physics. Unfortunately, this means I’ll only have 3 years of high school science: honors biology, honors chem, and AP Chem. How badly would this impact chances at selective colleges (ie Dartmouth, Brown, Northwestern, WUSTL) if I won’t be a science major?
