i was one of the dropouts :)

i thought it sounded like a good idea in high school but didn’t really do any research beforehand – then landed at ucsd, decided there was no way i wanted to be a bioengineer, then dropped and changed to chem, never to look back.

very few people drop because of difficulty – that said because not enough people make it that far through the major to realize how hard it is. your first two years in BE:PM are more or less comparable to any bio/chem major, the hardfore BE specialization classes aren’t until spring of sophomore year or so.
