Firstly, I do not intend to become a pre-med at this moment. I do want to keep the option of pre-med open if I choose to pursue it later. That is why I am considering taking O-Chem.

I want to get Physics 62 out of the way early because it is a prerequisite for many required classes. These second order classes (namely BME 153L) are prerequisites for many other required BME and ECE classes. I want to fulfill my degree requirements as soon as possible because there is a possibility that I will not be funded for a senior year at Duke and will have to graduate early.

I am considering taking Biomechanics (BME 110) in lieu of O-Chem as I have the prerequisites for BME 110 down (AP Physics C: Mechanics + AP BC Calculus), and BME 110 is a required class for the BME major. The schedule with Biomechanics does give me less class time, though I doubt Biomechanics is much easier than O-Chem. This would allow me to hold off on taking a chemistry class till next semester or next year (when I hopefully will have decided whether or not I want to pursue the pre-med track).

Any ideas on taking BME 110 instead of O-Chem?
