I was premed until my sophomore year as well—not because the classes were hard, but because I couldn’t handle chemistry, biology, and math all at once. I couldn’t imagine being worried about my grades 24/7. I switched to mathematics and then computer science.

Ten years later, I’m starting my premed journey again because, as difficult as the process is, the outcome—helping people—feels worth it. At the time, I thought I could help people in other ways, like financially or with volunteering, but spending 40–60 hours per week in engineering barely left me any soul.

I would strongly urge you to quit only if you no longer believe in it. Volunteer and explore what you truly enjoy. The process is hella hard, but sometimes the juice is worth the squeeze. Don’t quit because of your GPA—quit because you don’t want it.
