[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD went into UVA as pre med and did not stay that way. Chem killed her GPA and made her reconsider her career path.
She loves UVA and it was probably for the best that she got weeded out but I do wonder what would have happened at a small school with more personal attention. That said, she has lots of friends there who are still pre med so maybe it’s just her not being strong enough in stem.[/quote]

Thank you for sharing this! Just wondering how radical the change in major was. Did she switch out of sciences completely?[/quote]

Well she changed to anthropology with a minor on bioethics. She has taken a lot of classes related to health care, medicine and ethics so she still may end up in a healthcare setting but she’s looking at law school now to pursue bioethics.  The first anthropology class that she took was called Race and Gender in Medicine and that’s what sparked her interest. She’s really never been a science girl, she’s an exceptional communicator both written and verbal and I always thought that would be wasted in the medical profession personally but she had wanted a medical career since about middle school.[/quote]
