I am currently a junior in high school. As I am starting to think about what colleges I want to go to, I am not exactly sure what I want to major in. I am thinking of majoring in neuroscience and on the pre-med track. However, I am also interested in biomedical engineering. I am not the best at math, and I know that engineering is obviously a math-heavy major. I have taken calculus AB, but dropped my Calculus BC class as I could not handle it with my 20+ hour/week athletic commitment. I also took AP Physics 1 and Physics 2 and felt that those classes were quite challenging. I don’t know if engineering would be a good fit for me because of this and my inability to grasp the material quickly in those classes. However, relatively, I had a much easier time understanding the material in AP Bio and Chemistry than calculus and physics, which makes me think I should lean towards majoring in neuroscience. Can anyone tell me what they think I should do? Thanks
As someone who is a biomedical engineer and struggled with math it is extremely challenging to keep up with not only calculus, but differential equations and other engineering math you need to do. Why do you want to be a biomedical engineering major? Evaluate that, and then decide. It is also very difficult to do premed with this major also.
