Will no math or science hurt me?

GPA and course rigor trump test scores for UCs so make sure you apply widely and not just to UCs.
I think it’s really cool you like all these classes and are using your senior year to explore them.
Admissions don’t hinge on one class and since you took AP math before I’d think you’d be fine. But if your question is, can I take those and not suffer any backlash, unfortunately the answer is no. If you apply to competitive universities and don’t have math nor science senior year AND are applying to a science major, you are not going to be competitive. So, see if one of your xhosen classes can be replaced with an AP science.
Or stick with this schedule but consider UcB, UCLA, and UCSD as high reaches (do include them of course) and prepare a broader list with realistic reaches (UCSB, Oxy…), matches (cal poly, Whitman), and safeties (UCSC, SDSU honors, Lewis and Clark).
