Majoring in Chem/Biochem/Bio

Pre-Med & Medical School High School Student Topics

Hi, so I am a high school sophomore and I really enjoy chemistry…despite this, it is a very difficult subject at times. I took Chemistry 1 first semester and am currently in Chemistry 2. Here were my grades:

Chemistry 1
Term 1: 95.92
Term 2: 94.06
Final Grade (after final): 92.17

Chemistry 2
Term 1: 88.02
Term 2: ?

So my main question is, can I major in chemistry/bio chem/science if those are my grades for chemistry. And mind you, they aren’t honors classes. Should I stop taking chem after this since my grades are pretty low and maybe it isn’t for me? I feel like becoming a chemist would be fun! Working in a lab really fascinates me, even since I was younger. What should I do? Be honest please!

Yes, one B+ in a HS course is not predictive of your ability to be successful in any major in college. And my advice would be not to worry about a college major yet. You have plenty of time!
