What scheduling difficulties are you having? BME 140 is a lot of people’s first introduction to what BME really entails, so I would encourage taking it freshman year. Plenty of people drop the major because of this class, and you want to know that early on.

I doubt it would be offered over the summer, because while it’s required for the major, there isn’t a demand for it beyond a couple people trying to fit more classes in their first semester. Not many people want to take it as an elective unless they have to. Its also somewhat specific to Wash U, since you have a bunch of the BME department come in to guest lecture. [Transfer Courses](Undergraduate Transfer Course Equivalency Database | McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis) has the accepted courses from various universities, and the ones you’d expect for BME (JHU, Duke) don’t have an equivalent.

Basically, my advice is to arrange take BME 140 your first semester, so that you’ll know sooner rather than later if you’re gonna stick with it.
