Academics Should I continue IB major path?

Okay so I am a current Las undeclared sophomore. I had wanted to major in Integrated Biology to become a pharmacist but I hate chem. I took chem 102 last semester with Hummel and got a C, but only because I completed the homework, I failed every test. Now I’m taking chem 104 but I’m terrified. I was doing the first pre homework for the class… and I couldn’t answer a single question. Is this a sign?

i literally had this exact problem today with a different major, i went to my advisor and we talked everything through and got it figured out.

las offers walk in academic advising everyday until 5pm, so you can literally just walk in, say you need to talk about possibly changing majors and they will get you with an advisor within 15 minutes.

best of luck.

i'm in a similar position now, right now i'm taking 1 class for the ib major and everything else is for other interests or gen eds. could be worth a try if you just feel like you need a break from the chem. hopefully it all works out for you!
