Isn't that the truth, and a shame.

Take a gap year.

I didn't find biology all that math heavy, not like physics. Sure, there is stats, etc. but it is handle-able.

If you have tuition covered then I agree you should take core classes for now, and try to squeeze in an elective based in a major, like taking a biology class. That will allow you to explore your interests, but also make sure that your major will be something marketable after graduation.

True. I think statistics is going to be your most math-heavy class in most places. I almost switched my major to organic chemistry until I learned that they would make me take differential equations.

the one thing for sure is she has to try out music classes first. If she has a talent and can quickly pick up an instrument she can still be a singer, composer, or musicologist.
