No physics until senior year?

Applying to College
1

<p>I want to apply to top engineering schools (MIT, Caltech, Franklin Olin) and plan on self-studying physics B this coming year and taking the exam. However, my schedule won't allow me to take an official physics course (AP Physics C) until senior year.
Many of my schools list a year of physics as a requirement for admission so will this wreck my chances? Is there anything I can do because there is no way to change my schedule now? Should I try to take it online or something? </p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>It won’t “wreck” your chances. I doubt most HS students can take Physics before Senior year.</p>
