I’m currently a senior studying CE and I absolutely hate it. I only have one more semester to go and, with that being said, I really want to switch to premed. It’s something that I’ve always been interested in and only recently have I decided to get it together and work towards something I actually want to do.
My biggest issue:
I gave a lackluster effort during most of my time in college and earned a 3.0 GPA (roughly). I have a lot of classes with A’s and B’s, but my distaste towards CE resulted in a deterioration of grades. I know that a 3.0 GPA is nowhere near what it needs to be and I know it’s going to take a lot of effort in order to fix it.
My plan:
My college allows for classes to be repeated, up to two times, without penalty. Meaning that I could go back and retake classes that I got poor grades in to help “reset” my GPA. Because of an overlap in maths and sciences in the beginning of premed and CE, I have a large amount of credits towards a premed degree. I think it would be best to tack on a class I did bad in each semester in order to reverse its negative effect on my GPA.
I know this is the “what are the chances” forum, but I’m really asking what needs to be done? Is what I’m trying to do going to be enough or am I going to need to do more? What else can be done to fix what a younger, dumber me did?
