Does it hurt to not take physics and apply for engineering?

Well, since you’re applying for bio stuff, it’s not as bad. Physics is pretty basic, but if you’ve had at least one course in it, that’s ok, especially if you’re planning to take more physics in the future. I mean, I haven’t taken biology since 6th grade life science and I turned out okay… Just stress that you’ve been concentrating on the sciences that you think will further your understanding of what you’ll be studying in college.

It does hurt to not take any physics and apply to engineering, but your motivation for pursuing science seems good, and you have taken at least one physics course, albeit a basic one.
