Do you guys think I'll manage to get into pharmaceutics in uni

For context I am currently 15 and just got into art college (5 years to go still), we will NOT be learning chemistry in that much detail unfortunately (but we will have very good anatomy classes so that's that) and my chem teacher in school barely helped tbh (I tried my best to understand stuff tho). Do I wish to become an artist, like, professionaly? No, it's just the better option compared to highschool and other places in my country for me as art is something I'm relatively good at, for better or worse. Why do I wish to go to pharmaceutics in med uni? Cause I'd rather learn something interesting to me personally even if I genuinely can't picture myself successfully working in any field, let alone the medical field (stupid, amirite?). Now, to compensate for my poor base in chemistry I've decided to do a little reading myself early on for it to be easier, although cause foreign (english) books are more accessible when I'm keeping all this a semi-secret for now I'm going with that (which will likely cause some issues with terminology and methods but I'm sure if I start going to lessons maybe after my 3rd or 2nd year in college I'll remember things). Currently I'm starting with zumdahl and so far it's helping me remember both chemistry and even a bit of physics, so that's that (any book recommendations would be quite appreciated). I genuinely have no idea how I'll survive in stem if I'm already burnt out in my first semester of art college, but you gotta do what you gotta do or be even more miserable I guess. Not even sure how I survived being a top student in school. But either way, any insight would be amazing.

Also forgot to mention I'll have to read up on more biology too cause even tho I did pretty well in that subject and picked that as my school graduation exam for the science fields I still forgot a lot y'know

If you don't have passion for science or other beta subjects, don't bother getting into anything that's related to that. I myself am also very good at art, but I'm also very passionate about science and biology so I just dropped art and persuaded in those. I highly recommend to do something you actually enjoy and whatever you do, PLEASE don't choose something you'll regret. Because anything in the medical field requires your full attention and dedication due to it having tons of study material.

If you don't see yourself dedicating your life to pharmacy, please just persuade art instead <3 You'll be happier with something you enjoy rather then doing something against your will and what you perhaps might regret.

Thank you for the advice! Guess I'm in a bit of a tough spot then considering I'm rarely ever passionate about anything that could genuinely be useful in the future. I would say I've always been interested in biology to a degree but I guess it's questionable how helpful that'd be when I still can't grow out of having things like pokemon or any other piece of fiction being the sole point of my life. I hope time will smooth things out, even my classmate who got forced to come to art college instead of military college is having more fun here than me lmao
