Hey guys, here's my story
I entered a four year private university on a full tuition scholarship for classical trumpet. However, I always new that I would pursue a different route other than music, during my college career I discovered that I wanted to be a physician. Fortunately my school is quite good about double majoring and making the process of doing so relatively easy.
Things started off really poorly for me because my private trumpet studio professor, who was 24 and got the job because of his fathers connections, didn't agree with my classical training. Instrumental musicians study through one on one sessions with the university professor for four years. (For anyone who didnt know). I developed a very poor relationship with my music professor which essentially derailed me from being that happy college student. I was overloading on both chem and music classes and trying to deal with a significantly poor relationship. My first year did not go well at all. gpa 2.5
I spoke to my parents and they told me they wanted me to stay at my school for the financial reasons.
Anyway, I started to manage a little better at the school even though I still despised it. I got 3.2's to 3.3s and upward trends
Finally, there was another full sch. student who complained about the prof as well. As a result, he is no longer at the school and another amazing professor is teaching.
In terms of my grades im hoping to graduate with a BA in Music with a double major in Biochemistry. gpa c 3.25-3.3and sc 3.3-3.4. I havent taken my MCAT yet.
Im very hesitant and dont even know if ill be able to get into Med school with the gpa that I have because of the stats and what my advisor has been saying.
Id really appreciate and help, im sorry if this was really long
