I'm a junior at John Carroll University. I'm pursuing a double major- bio and psych (premed). I LOVE biology and everything related to the medical field and I have wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. In my biology and psychology classes, I get straight A's with little studying required and I rarely don't get the highest grade in the class on exams in those classes. I volunteer at Medwish. I volunteer every summer at a free clinic in a refugee camp in the Palestinian territories. I volunteer at homeless shelters, hospitals around my area, etc. I'll be doing research with a professor next semester. I'll be shadowing my neighbor who is an anesthesiologist soon. But I have two problems: chemistry and physics. :/ I got a C in general chemistry 1 and a B+ in gen chem 2. I got a C in ochem 1 and I'm about to take ochem 2 next semester. I'm in physics now and I'm expecting a C :/ I just think those are the most boring classes that have ever existed. I actually need to study for them but have no desire to because I die of boredom within seconds. Even when I study, I can't seem to do well 🙁 I know I'm not dumb but these classes make me feel like I am. I don't know what to do. My cousin is in med school and he says its all biology/biochem which I KNOW I can handle. I'm afraid I won't get into med school because of these 2 subjects 🙁

And your current GPA (sGPA and overall) is????

Probably too early to tell with the info you've given us.

Unfortunately there are going to be classes you find super boring in medical school too. You should work on trying to find a way to do well in subjects you don't find particularly enthralling. A lot of what will become your science GPA is bio/chem/physics so you're going to have to prove you can do well in them.
