Is Chemistry The Right Major For Me?


I took AP Chemistry in high school, and loved the material, all while doing very well. I got a 5 on the exam, and so as a freshman, I am taking organic chemistry. I don’t find much of the information so far interesting, and looking back at topics in AP Chem, they were so much more interesting. I loved the math and theories, which I know would be covered more in P Chem.
Secondly, I don’t really enjoy working in the lab. I find learning and discussing material while doing practice problems to kind of be my niche. With a chemistry degree, and even graduate school, I know career options are bleak, but do these options all entail working exclusively in a lab?
To summarize, I love studying the subject of chemistry, besides orgo, but don’t enjoy working in the lab. Is chemistry then not right for me as a major?

Will Getting A Lot Of B’s And C’s Affect My Admission?


I applied to Ivy Leagues, UCs and a CSU…
I got three B’s and two C’s my junior year because I was struggling with financial and family problems at the time. I let the UCs know this through the application but didn’t mention it with the Common App for the Ivy Leagues because there was no section for it. But I don’t think colleges takes “excuses” anyway so I’m not sure if that even matters…
SAT I: 2070 (Reading: 740, Writing: 720, Math: 610)
ACT: 29 (SAT equivalent of over 1900)
Math II: 550
Literature: 640
Biology E: 690
World History: 600
AP World History score: 5
AP Composition: 4
AP Biology: 4
AP US History: 3
AP Chemistry: 1 (worst class during my junior year)
UC/CSU GPA: 4.13 (top 10% of class)
8 APs and 2 Honors English classes
The summer after my junior year I attended Brown University for a pre-college program. I’ve been doing journalism for our school newspaper for two years, played piano for 10 years, participated in Science Fair for 8 years, and have done recreational dance for 10 years. I’ve volunteered at my local hospital for 3 years (with leadership positions), at two retirement homes (two years for the first, and one year for the second), Community Food Bank, and planting trees at River Restoration. I’ve joined the effort against the war in Uganda with a school club (3 years with leadership), along with 10 other school clubs that focus either on ethnic awareness or community volunteering.
I’m very dedicated to community volunteering and leadership; I suppose that’s my “niche” if I get accepted. I want to be a doctor to combine this passion with my love for biology (favorite class in high school and exposure to this environment with my volunteering, among other reasons). I still have to go through interviewing with an alum, but with my statistics do you think it’s possible I have a competitive chance to get into the colleges I applied to? I know I messed up that one year but I’ve become a much better student (and mature person) since then… I have the possibility of getting one or two B’s this semester of my senior year but the rest are all A’s. Thanks 🙂
