Hi! I’ve just sent in my SIR and I will be going to UCLA in chemistry for undergrad. My friend, who is at UCLA as a chemistry major, recently told me that the major is very competitive but he’s managed, sort-of. I am concerned a little bit and am looking at possibilities to change my major?

I am fairly intelligent (I’m definitely not a genius) with good study habits and I study well. I hope to go into pharmacy school or a graduate school for chemistry in the future. However, will me being a good studying student be enough? I’m fairly certain that if competition is cut-throat and really intense, I won’t do well. Should I consider switching majors?
