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

My number one choice at the moment is Johns Hopkins University.
My other choices are UF, UMiami, and a couple others.

I want to go into Liberal Arts and Sciences, and become a doctor one day.

But, I haven’t taken Chemistry in high school.
I took Earth and Space Science honors (In middle school for high school credit), Biology honors, & Physics honors, I plan on taking AP Biology (Junior year) and then AICE (similiar to IB) Biology senior year. I will also take AP Environmental Science, Anatomy and Physiology honors, and Marine Science honors.

I honestly really enjoy Biology, that is why I plan on taking it for so many years in high school.

Chemistry isn’t required in the program I am doing at my school (Cambridge Global Studies Academy if you are familiar by any chance again it’s similar to IB)

But, I know since I want to go on the “pre-med track” will not taking Chemistry in high school hinder my application process and make me look bad?

(Sorry if there are similar threads on here like this but I didn’t find one similar to my situation)
