sorry if this questions been asked before, i searched for it but there wasn't anything exactly like the question im asking.
im starting second year as a biochemistry major and was thinking of switching out.I did pretty badly last year (2.5 ish gpa) but that was due to a mixture of me goofing off and not knowing what i wanted to do. now after i spent nearly 100 ish hours shadowing/volunteering at physicians clinics i feel as if i know i want to go the med route (quick back story)
Now, before i start the school year, i decided on really talking to older people in my programs and the advisor, and they all tell me that the program is not easy and if i want to bump my gpa, i should switch to another program. the reason im at a dilemma is that IF it doesnt work out for me, biochemistry seems like an area of research which i'd prefer, but again medicine is my primary choice.
courses id be taking in biochemistry this year are: organic 1, organic 2 + lab, analytical chem + lab 1 & lab 2, molecular biology, applied microbiology, statistical thermodynamics, biochemistry, and computer science for chemists.
