I was thinking of switching majors. How hard is it to switch? So I'm a first year, and I got in as a biochem major and stuck with that til now. I'm thinking of switching to psychobiology, human biology and society, or any other majors related to that, if you have any suggestions! (I am pre-health). I'm switching because for a biochem major you have to take 3 ochem classes when most of the prerecs just require 2.
I recently had 3 of my midterms on the same day so I was cramming for them (which I should not have done, but it was too late 😭). I just found out that I failed all of them. In chem 30a I got a 78, math 32a a 70, and ls7b a 68 on the individual (averaged with the group phase is a 75). I think I can do better on chem 30a and math 32a if I studied more, but with ls7b I just don’t know how to. I ended up getting an A in ls7a. I would review all of the clicker questions, make sense of each PEQ, and went over the group phase again. I left like ls7b midterm feeling okay about it, but I didn’t know I did this bad.
In the past, I took chem 14a, 14b, and 20L and got As in them. In chem 20L I remember on the midterm I got like a 80 or something and I was devastated at that, but I ended up studying really hard for the final and got a 97. So I’m thinking I can improve for chem and probably math 32a too (math 32a allows a drop midterm) but I genuinely don’t know what to do about ls7b.
Is it worth it to stick to biochem as a major as a premed?
