I’m an incoming freshman. Currently pre-med and I didn’t know that DE classes would count toward the med school application gpa. I currently have 2 B’s in calc 1 and intro to chem. I thought I could try them out in HS first, then take it for real in college and do well. It’s totally my fault, I wanted to relax in my last quarter and didn’t put in the work. It’s too late now to change it. I would like to “save” the B’s for harder classes. Does anyone know if Pitt will rescind my acceptance if I take them Pass/No Pass?

I haven’t even started college yet and my entire family thinks I’m going to give up immediately. My mom thinks I should “just be a nurse” and that I don’t have the mental strength to go through with this. I have asked REPEATEDLY for her not to talk about me being pre-med with her friends and I am just so fucking SICK of her violating my boundaries. She came home tonight after hanging out with her church friends, one of whom got into medical school this past cycle. She keeps asking me these condescending fucking questions like “Oh, do you know what his gpa was, 3.9?” “Do you even like chemistry?” “You know he went to UCLA right?” I’m just so fucking sick of it. She and the rest of my family has been the destroyer of my confidence for the past 18 years. And I let it get to me ever. Single. Time. I keep going back and telling her things, and she just betrays me again and again. I have zero confidence in myself anymore. I feel stupid all the time, and I really don’t know how I’m going to make it.
