How do MIT see Senior/Junior Year Physics?

Thanks for your replies.

Perhaps I was not clear enough but I did do physics in freshman and sophomore year of high school. I dropped it after that, because I knew I didn’t want to do a physics-related course at college. However, I’m wondering if MIT would prefer a student with more than just the one year physics requirement (against someone who took a different subject such as, for example, economics or chemistry).

Why is Physics so important to MIT, even perhaps for students who do not want to take a Physics course?
