A commerce student wanting to change field to science

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a student's struggle with their current path in commerce while expressing a strong passion for physics and mathematics. Despite initially choosing commerce to avoid organic chemistry, the student has found little interest in their BBA program after 1.5 years and feels unfulfilled. Suggestions include exploring calculus and other math courses to assess compatibility with their interests, as well as considering a switch to a physics or math major if the university allows it. The importance of formal education in these subjects is highlighted, along with the recommendation to consult a career counselor for guidance on potential pathways and requirements for transitioning to a science-focused curriculum.

Do not discourage me after reading this but please listen. I always loved maths and physics but i hated Organic chemistry so in order to avoid chemistry i ended up choosing commerce with maths.
Now, I am in 2nd yr of my college doing BBA. My class 11th and 12th was in lockdown so i did not study at all to be honest i did not know basics of accounts. So i actually started learning commerce in my college and after studying for 1.5 yrs i am realizing that i am not made for commerce. My heart still wants physics and maths.

I tried exploring paths in commerce but nothing interests me.
I dont think I will be able to sustain in this path.
I love studying but not commerce

You could start to study calculus, real and complex, and see whether it suits you better, in order to have a real comparison. It is by the way something that won't be in vain.

First, have you taken any physics and math courses at your university? Then, what are your options? At your university, do you have the option of switching majors (e.g., to physics or math)? And if you do, is there a requirement to take chemistry, and would you be willing to fulfill that requirement to achieve your goal?

What was the last time (which grade) you did any formal study in Physics and Maths? 10th? 12th? If you decide to re-start college/university as a science (physics / maths) student, they might expect that you have some formal education in these subjects.

One option might be to consider AP classes in Physics and Maths. Even with AP classes, I suspect you will need a 12th-grade certificate that includes Physics and Maths to be accepted into a university. The best advice I can offer is to talk to your college's career counselor.
 
Given the current funding situation, you should contact potential departments or research groups before you apply and pay any application fees. Many programs are not taking new graduate students at all this cycle because of funding uncertainty, unless a specific advisor can show they already have money to support you for five years. This is what I’ve heard directly from 20–30 programs. Do not waste money applying blindly.
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
