Does the difficulty of my major outweigh the lower GPA?

Hi forum,

Im a sophomore in college majoring in chemistry, and honestly its more than just a rough ride. After taking biology (B in both), General chemistry (B, B+)and Orgo 1 (a B) I have started to realize that these difficult chemistry courses are just the beginning. I have yet to take physical chemistry, analysis, physics based calculus, etc. and its a known fact that Chemistry majors have an average gpa of 2.8 at my school ( which would be dismal for medical school standards). I currently have a 3.2 GPA.

Say i get a GPA of 3.2/3.3 when applying to medical school, will this GPA be put into a different consideration because of the rigor of the course load, or am i better off switching my major to something thats easier and coasting to a Higher GPA (like psychology or public health)? I love chemistry but, clearly, its not worth all the effort if its detrimental to my chances of acceptance.

Thanks!
