no hard-core science senior year?

Next year, as a senior, I may not be able to take any hard-core science classes because of my school’s budget. I want to get into a BS/MD program, but I’m worried that this might hurt me. I’m taking 2 years of science this year, for a total of 4 years by the end of my junior year, and will be a lab assistant for the general chemistry class next year.

Here are my science classes

9th grade: Biology
10th grade: Chemistry
11th grade: AP Chemistry, Physics
12th grade: Lab assistant for 1 semester, Environmental science for 2nd semester.

I’ll get a good rec from my chem teacher, who I will have had for 2.5 years counting my semester as a lab assistant.

Anyway, will the lack of an AP science class such as AP biology hurt me? Any thoughts? thanks!
