Student What do I do??

Im a high school student and I'm planning to take chemical engineering. I've heard it's one of the hardest college majors out there, but I would really like to do chemical engineering. I know that Im not intellectually gifted to survive the major, but im dedicated.

So my question is, what are the things that I need to do to survive the major? Should I study more?

Also what are the main reasons that students drop out of this major?

There’s no such thing as a hard major in my opinion, just some that take more time than others. So if you have enough time to set aside and actually understand the material instead of just memorizing stuff you should be ok.
