calculus..pshaw! Try Organic Chem, second semester. Hardest course in college. Don’t bother working that semester if you want “A” performance.

Yeah, but Orgo is a bunch of memorizing. I just think it’s because organic chemists don’t know what they’re doing yet.

They’ll never get anything done properly until they stop being human hard drives.

Yes. The weed out course for medical school. I have heard many doctors say it has absolutely nothing to do with what they need to know in medical school.

I am a Mechanical Engineer who has two daughters thinking about medical school. Up until they hit 1st semester Organic Chem (which I did study correspondence) I am able to help them in all of their math and science courses. When 2nd semester Organic rolls around, then forget it.

I remember thinking in college that the Chem Engineers had it much tougher than me. Chem I and II kept me from 4.0s both semesters. A mans got to know his limitations as Dirty Harry would say. I think Partial Differential Equations are easier than Organic Chemistry.
