Switching from life sciences to environmental/earth sciences?

Just finished my second year of life sciences and realizing it's not for me. I'm much more interested in environmental sciences and wondering if anyone has made this switch before? I know the programs are quite similar electives wise and hopefully wouldn't take me too long to catch up. Any information/advice would be really appreciated before I go talk to academic advising!

ALSO, another question if anyone knows the answer - when you shadow and reapply to a program, do they look at your cumulative GPA or your GPA for the year?
