No AP classes sophomore year?

Ok let me explain. This summer, my family moved to a different state, and I’ll be a sophomore this upcoming year. The only AP class at my school that is available to sophomores is AP Euro. However, I wasn’t able to complete the summer work due to certain circumstances, therefore I’m not eligible to take the class. I was wondering how this will effect my chances of getting into top-ranked schools such as the UC’s. I’ve signed up for honors chemistry, which is the only honors (non-AP) class available to sophomores. If I just do well with what I’m currently in, and take all AP classes in my junior and senior years, should I be fine? With solid EC’s, test scores, etc.? Also, I’m kind of in the middle of a downward trend since I took all honors as a freshman at my old school but now taking only one (they only offer one) as a sophomore. I’m truly sorry if it sounds like I’m making excuses, I’m really not, I’m just nervous. History really isn’t my strength, and I would rather use my time take another class that I’m interested in. Thanks for your help.
