what major should i major in as I like chemistry and biology more?

[Jenni_2017]

Hi, I am a freshman at community college. I graduated high school with a GPA of 3.8. At the high school, I got a C in chemistry, then A in honors math classes such as algebra, geometry, Algebra II. My first semester at college I had taken the below courses so far. I will start my physics classes once I'm done with my calculus classes.
General bio honors- A
General Chemistry-A (this took soo much hard work)
General Chemistry lab-A
Pre-calculus-C :/

My problem is I'm not good at calculus. Since I'm not good at calculus, I choose to major in biochemistry and hopes to major in pharmacy. But they are asking Calc I, Calc II, which I'm pretty sure that my GPA will get killed. UC Irvine or UCSD won't accept me :/
I like chemistry soo much and especially the lab class and I help even others in chemistry. But sadly, I'm bad at calculus. Should I lose the hope of going to medical field?

Please help me, I even got an orientation to the University link program at UCSD but my major in that program was bioengineering but I change it now to biochemistry to avoid calculus. I think UCSD do not know about that. If someone knows how to let them know my major change, that would be helpful plus should I change my major and lose hope of going to medical field?

1. How do you typically study for Calculus?
2. You can major in whatever you want so long as you get good grades and take the premed prereqs.

yeah, hopefully but I'm bad at calculus. I study for calculus by practicing and doing the problems. Also, I went to college tutors several times and it was much helpful. I do not why I did good at math on high school and bad at college. 0-0
I'm pretty good with my other classes.

thank you for the reply.

Pre calc is harder than Calc imo

I had a C in chemistry in High school, ended up being my favorite subject in college and switched to a chem major

Oh wow , that's interesting. I agree, pre calc is much harder than calc, I wonder why is that . I might fail this class purposely and retake it and put it pass/ no pass. Between I hope physics is kinda like chemistry.
Thank you for the reply.

DO not fail calc on purpose. WIthdraw if you think you are doing poorly.

Also, take algebra based physics unless youre very comfortable with calculus
