<p>Science/Math courses at Northwestern are reputed to be REALLY hard so I bet you’re not alone. When I talked to a science professor before, he mentioned that students frequently come to his office crying because they get low grades despite working really hard. I have about 10 friends who dropped out of pre-med because of the rigor. </p>
<p>Something like 2/3rds of all nu students who enroll planning to be pre-med end up dropping it before graduation, and I believe most of that happens through first year attrition. It’s a curve- someone WILL be at the bottom, regardless of how much you work or how smart you are.</p>
