I'm really, really frustrated. My parents told me they want to take me out of my university because I wasn't doing well in it. I have a 3.2. But they want me to do pre-med and the program I want to do requires a 3.5. The problem is I go to a great school, ranked really well, and very rigorous. And it feels like no matter what I do, I can't get an A in a class, barely a B. For my last physics exam I studied every week prior to the exam, I dedicated the week before to the exam, and sat through five hours of office hours. I essentially dedicated my friday afternoon/evening to Physics office hours with the professor. I read three different physics textbooks, two self help books, and the textbook itself, and did the review way before anyone else in the office hours did. But I got an 88/120, top 40% of the class grade, so I did well, But not well enough! That is the story of my college career.
And I'm so frustrated with it! Meanwhile all my peers that I study with and live with easily get As in electives and Bs in the sciences. My parents argument is that no matter how hard I try I simply can't do well at such a hard school. It's annoying me more than anything that they may be right, at this rate they'll switch me out of the school. Which is unfair, because I know the caliber of the education I want to have even if that education is killing me. I'm not sure if they're right, or if there's some way of studying or learning I'm just simply missing.
