importance of physics

My niece applied ED to NU. She wants to major in theatre. She decided not to take Science this year so she will not have taken physics in high school. How much of a problem will this be? She figured it doesn’t matter since she wants theatre. I am afraid that it will show that she does not have the necessary rigor. Thanks.

Admissions info indicates only 2 years of lab science is required for admission to NU (3 years for McCormick engineering).
