Many will take APES and skip physics altogether, and many of those students get into top schools. Physics would be nice but I don’t think it’s make or break.

Some schools actually do “strongly recommend” physics, especially for STEM majors. I guess it depends what level of schools OP is looking at.

“Strongly recommended” pretty much equates to required at highly selective schools. But to answer OP’s question, it doesn’t matter if they do it junior or senior year.
