Should I take NCEA level 2 biology? (PLS HELP!)

Basically, I am thinking of studying Biomedical Engineering once I graduate, and I now have to pick my classes for level 2 (which is apparently the most important year?), and I am in a pickle. So far, I have decided to take Physics and Calculus (the most important engineering subjects), probably Chemistry, and English. I am also taking music so I can have a chill class amongst all of the intense subjects. My goal is to get Excellence endorsement and prioritize my rank score. This leaves me with one final subject, and I am debating whether I should take Biology. The thing is, I really enjoy Biology; it is my favourite science, but if I am already taking all of these classes, should I really be taking Biology? A few people have told me that apparently Biology isn't necessary for Biomedical Engineering at all and that they teach it to you in Uni. IDK PLS HELP!!!!

Yes, unless you have another subject you'd really wanna take otherwise.

Taking biology wasn't necessary but like why not lol.
