your opinion:Switching to a different major

<p>I want to get some advice on my situation:
I am currently an engineering major and my gpa isn't too great (~1.9). because of my low gpa i got a suspended. when i reapply i just want to choose a major that interests me and gets me a gpa around (3.0 to 3.5).</p>

<p>i did well in my math classes: calcI(A), calcII(B), engineering math(B), calc-based physics(B)
the reason why i have a low gpa is because i failed gen. chemII.(but i retook it at community college and got a B) and received D's in bio I&II. i did poorly in my first semester of college because i took too many classes.</p>

<p>what should i major in?
NOT interested in: business, architecture, education, hotel/restaurant mang., theatre, music, art, communication, history, languages, philosophy.</p>

<p>also in order to get accepted into the college of natural sciences i have to have a gpa of 2.5 overall(and mine is no where near that)... majors include:Biology and Biochemistry,Chemistry,Computer Science,Earth and Atmospheric Sciences,Mathematics,Physics</p>

<p>Well, it looks like math or physics (or something related like perhaps statistics, computer science, or math-based economics) would be the most promising subjects for you. Obviously, biology and chemistry do not seem to be the right subjects for you.</p>

<p>Was your engineering major biomedical engineering? If not, why did you take biology?</p>

<p>yes i was majoring in bme… because i was aspiring to do biomedical imaging.</p>

<p>I don’t think you need to leave engineering if you want to stay in the field and you are permitted to do so. It’s the chem and bio that are the problems, and I don’t think most engineering majors require anymore of that. Stay away from BME or Chemical Engineering and look at those courses that do not require any more of those subjects that gave you trouble.</p>

<p>True, some other kind of engineering other than biomedical or chemical engineering could be a viable major for you.</p>

<p>Economics uses a lot of math. Of course, math and statistics. Does your school offer actuarial science? Or industrial engineering?</p>

<p>What about electrical engineering. My husband didn’t have to take anything but basic science classes if I remember correctly. You do have to take a lot of math but that did not seem to be a problem for you.</p>
