<p>I'm a college freshman and want to be a PA. At first I also considered going the pharmacy route since both the PA and pharm schools have the same prequisites. Because I had planned on being prepharmacy I had chosen this tough course load for this semester because my course load last semester were mostly typical core reqs. I quickly abandoned the idea of pharmacy school when I started doing poorly in a biology class that I requested permission to get in even though I didn't have the prerequisites (my university requires that chem 1 & 2 be finished before doing bio 1 but no prereqs for bio 2 which i didn't know at the time). I am currently a chem major because I loved it in high school and felt it was something I could be good at since I got a 4 on AP chem exam but due to pressuring of advisor still took chem 1 anyway. I got a B- in chem 1 but now I'm afraid that for chem 2 I may even get a D since I have failed 2 tests already even though I understood the material and studied. One of my friends suggested I just take a different major and do the PA school prereqs. I was thinking maybe accounting and just take science courses dispersed through the 4 years or during summers in order to not screw my GPA. But with my bad grades now I wonder if I should still even go ahead and be prePA even though I really want to do it.</p>
