Did you find that in order to do well, you had to be a "natural" at math/calc and the sciences?
This is what I want to take, but I'm seriously doubting my ability to do well and not end up with a horrific report card upon leaving undergrad! The only science I'm taking for Grade 12 this year is Biology (major regrets about not taking Chemistry + Calculus) and I'm scared that I won't know what to expect when I hit first-year science and flunk out of university.
My 2nd option is Human Kinetics (like Exercise Science) but I feel like that is taking the easy way out, and I'm not even sure if I'm interested in it. I feel that Biology would give me a better science background, especially to prepare for DAT, while covering most of the dental pre-reqs, but realistically, I would have a higher GPA in HKin, although not as much science experience. I feel like I would only be in HKin for the high GPA...but I'm probably also being unrealistic in thinking that I can survive a Biology major.
What would you do in this situation? My sister has been talking me out of going into Sciences all year with horror stories of straight-A highschool students flunking out, but part of me still wants to go for it. I would appreciate any opinions/advice, anything! Just scared of making a wrong decision that will affect everything in the future.
