Should I change majors??

Hi
I am currently enrolled in a program at a university, I have one more year until I'm done, however my science GPA is not where it needs to be in order for me to graduate yet, and I'm worried that it might go down even more. I know I can work hard, but I'm afraid of not being able to work hard enough and then next year find out I can't graduate at the last minute. Also the program I'm in (Med. Tech.) requires a certain GPA, and I don't have that at the moment, but I'm very interested in this field. I have had some things going on at home, and also did not get a good background in high school. I really don't know what to do. Sometimes I think of changing my major, but I want to stay in science field, and med. tech. seems like the best way to go, but I'm really worried about not being able to graduate. I am already almost out of repeat credits as well.

Newme,
You need to go see an advisor at your school who is familiar with your program and can advise you on the best course of action. These are not questions for anonymous people on an internet forum to help you with. Good luck.
