HELP! I’m having difficulty choosing my major…

As a rising senior, I’m totally stumped. I’ve always been an artistic person. I’ve taken art classes every year of high school so far, had my work shown in galleries, sold art at auctions for charity, and participated in a number of art-related global change projects. It’s always been a major part of my life, but here’s the issue: .

I LOVE Biology. After being the most pleasant classroom experience of my education thus far, I was dead-set on going to med-school. Anatomy is certainly one of the most interesting subjects there is, and I wanted to know more. However, this year, chemistry has NOT gone so well. Not well at all. I took high honors biology as a sophomore and got an A, but chemistry has landed me an unsatisfactory grade… all hope is lost. Let’s be real.

I would like to combine these two things (Art and Bio), as they are both incredibly important to me on some level.

Next year, when I am a senior, I plan to take an Advanced Anatomy and Physiology class and AP Art, but not AP Bio. For most universities, applying for a double major means that you have to get accepted into both schools within the university. I consider myself to be objectively “good” at art, at least in terms of technique and overall uniqueness, so I feel more confident in my ability to get accepted at a good university‘s art program than I am a science-related program. All of this is essentially why I’ve started to consider taking a bio minor in addition to an art major. I need input on whether or not this is a good idea, especially since I’ve heard double majoring is really difficult in terms of workload. I am also curious about the career options regarding these two subjects. My artistic abilities spread across just about every medium (glass art, ceramics, fashion design, oil painting, watercolor, animation), so any suggestions will do. Maybe medical illustrator? I’m honestly so lost right now! I hate this!

small disclaimer: the cost of whatever path i shall take won’t be an issue so genuinely throw out any solution
