My junior year kind of sucked with me not doing as well as I would’ve liked in my AP classes and SAT subject tests. I would like to pursue pharmacy school in the future, but I’m worried with the current projection of my year in AP chem and bio, I’d be falling short of the sort of expectations I would need in order to complete all my pre-requisites for pharm school. I’m mainly worried about the fact that I had always enjoyed biology and chemistry, but the teachers I had for the two AP’s ruined everything I liked about both subjects with their teaching methods and the difficulty. Should I be worried going into a field like pharmacy where I would need more chemistry, biology, etc. classes? Will having a different (better) teacher make a difference? Thank you…
Ask yourself this: If the teachers were the exact same, would you want to take a science or a humanities course?
You said it yourself; it was the teacher. I went from loving English class (because I had a great teacher) to hating it (because I had a bad teacher).
As for the AP courses, if they are really bad scores, you can retake them once you get to college so you will have better scores to apply to pharmacy school with.
Honestly, you don’t really need to stress about this all right now (I know it’s hard. I do it all the time). You have 3 more years before you even need to start seriously thinking about concentrating on an area. This time is supposed to be about discovering what you love, not stressing about it!
Do you think you did well on the AP test? If the AP tests were an easy 4 or 5, then maybe the teachers made the class too hard. But if you didn’t do well on the test, that argument doesn’t really work unless they made you do challenging stuff that had nothing to do with the test. You could definitely dislike the teaching methods regardless of how well you did though. If you still like the subjects, I would stick with the pharmacy path. Worst case, you didn’t do well on the AP test and will be more prepared for intro classes in chem and bio
