Title: If I drop Chemistry, does that remove most possibilities of heath cours at uni?
Post by: palebluedot on March 08, 2018, 07:23:03 pm

Hi Everyone,

Long story short: I used to be alright with chemistry, now I am struggling big time, because my teacher doesnt know his content and doesnt help if i ask for help. (There was only so much I could teach myself)

Recently looking at the USYD website, I really like the 'Anatomy and Histology' Major, but realised its heavily Chemistry based (ugh). Looking at other majors, Chemistry is really prominent.


So, If i drop it to relieve some stress and focus on my studies, will i really struggle if i do a health course?


Sorry if this sounds dumb

Hey there! My partner didn't even take Chemistry, she just did a bridging course to get herself into Medical Science at USYD.

So I don't think it's a matter of "can you," because you totally can if you work hard. I guess you should just consider it carefully, because this is a subject you aren't vibing right now, and you're signing up to do something based heavily on that content for a couple of years.

If you're keen, definitely all sweet either way! ;D
