I wanted to do chemical engineering because I was interested in it after a summer program I attended.
Whether or not, Rigor of a major is not going to stop me from taking it and I don’t want to do it just because med schools would look at its “rigor”. I happen to actually like challenging things Whether I get a 3.0 or a 3.9, I will do chemical engineering, because I can see myself being happy in that career, if Medical school doesn’t work out. Happy is the key word
It was a well thought out decision. After a few weeks, I decided I will major in Chemistry. (95% of schools I applied to, my intended major is Chemistry)

Just since its on my chest:
Regardless of my high school stats, if I want to do engineering, I will do Engineering, I don’t care how hard it will push me to work or how much I will struggle, If I stay committed to something, I will finish it. I don’t care how low my SAT math score is, or whatever. Education is 50% motivation. I KNOW MANY people who had lower SAT scores than me and didn’t even take the AP classes I do, And they have a Bachelors Degree in Chemical Engineering.

Another Note: I am truly happy that I can receive advice from you, something 1000% needed in my case. BUT when your telling me my GPA will be low in college, it is an opinion and I wont take it offensive, rather as positive criticism.

Quick anecdote: When I was in 9th grade, I had so many teachers who belittled me and I wasn’t taking Century Honors courses… Many of them also said I wont be able to handle AP classes. Now that I am in the 12th grade, I developed better than many students I see in top schools in Manhattan and I have received better SAT scores. (I know many people). Moral of the story: Regardless of what my high school stats look like or how I look like compared to others, I WILL graduate with over a 3.7 and pass all my pre med courses with a B and higher, and as for Medical School, In Gods willing, I will make it there regardless of my major :D

Sorry if I ranted like an emotional kid, but some assumptions aren’t even opinions to be weighted.
