<p>I got into Stanford without taking Physics. Heck, I only took 3.5 credits of science period. (But I had 7 social science credits and went in as a social science major.)</p>
<p>Honors Biology –> Honors Chemistry –> AP Environmental Science –> AP Biology</p>
<p>When I was a freshman at MIT, they told us that about 5% of the entering class each year had never taken physics pre-MIT.</p>
<p>As others have said, though, it can matter <em>why</em> you didn’t take it. The people that I knew at MIT who had never taken physics before, came from schools that didn’t offer it. If you didn’t take it because you were exploring something else - another science, or an area relevant to your intended major, or something like that - in greater depth than your intro class allowed, that might also be acceptable.</p>
