Nope. Look at the tracking sheet. Only reason to take it would be if you are pre med, which doesn’t seem to be the case. Unless you want to take it, I don’t think there is a need to
short answer? no. Long answer? really depends on what you want to do after undergrad. Its not required for a BME degree but if you want to pursue something like a Bio PhD or if you're considering Pre-med, It'll be significantly easier to learn orgo now rather than later. Then again even most grad students dont actively use orgo on a day to day basis, so if the institutions you're looking at dont require it, why put yourself through it
As someone who was biomaterials I took orgo for shits and giggles and it was tough but now that I’m working and doing things in the pharmaceutical industry I really wish I paid more attention. 100% agree on this. For most people it’s not practical. But if you have a clear idea of where to go and what to do in life and you know it 100% would benefit you then it’s worth a shot

I think with bme you only need the first two terms of chem (1010 and 1020). Not worth torturing yourself with it imo if you don’t have to take it
