<p>On my college application I basically wrote that I'm passionate about becoming a pediatrician. All my ECs are revolved around kids and nursing and such. HOWEVER, all my grades/scores clearly reflect that I am pretty horrible in chemistry. I know that in college, things are inclined to change. But still, I essentially wrote on my apps that my intended major is bio, not chem. I was wondering.. how much is this going to hurt my admissions? Like, by saying I wanna pursue pediatrics yet having the worst grades and such in chem. Is it possible to become a pediatrician being horrible in chem but being good in bio?</p>
<p>Your major is irrelevant as long as you take the required prerequisites. You can be a bio major – you can even be an art history major, as long as you take the pre-reqs.</p>
<p>But you do have to be better than “horrible” in chemistry.</p>

<p>if the schools are gonna like u, theyre gonna like u. they look for certain personalities…usually creativity and motivation. i dont think that’ll affect ur app unless u got a C or below, but even if u did get a C, they arent gonna cut u off cuz u got a C. Don’t worry about it. if ur meant to get in, u’ll get in. I didn’t get into NYU, and i guess i wasn’t meant to go there right now. Maybe in a few years : /</p>
<p>Medical school usually requires a number of chemistry courses. The following is just one example. You do need to have decent grades for these classes and MCAT. Eventually, you will need to compete with other Pre-med students. A reality check may be helpful after sophomore year.</p>
