Will not taking chemistry in high school hinder my application process?

It’s not going to make you look necessarily “bad” because you have so many other science-related courses. However, I do very very strongly suggest that you take some sort of chemistry course at your school or even during the summer for your future benefit. Pre-med is not just taking biology courses; it’s many many chemistry courses as well! If I was reading your application, I would wonder why you didn’t take chemistry if you’re thinking of going into pre-med. If you don’t take some sort of chemistry in high school, you will have a very difficult time in even the introductory chemistry courses in college. It’s really to your benefit to take some kind of chemistry now so you don’t get totally lost in college.
