What makes Organic Chemistry so difficult that studious and smart people literally fail and basically can't apply to med school? Is it the combination of the hard classes that tend to all fall in the same semester? Is OChem just that hard?
Somebody who doesn't consider themselves an absolute chem genius, please tell me about your Ochem experience.
Assuming most medical school applicants have a 3.4+ GPA, it really scares me that people who get As are getting Ds and Fs in Ochem.
Right now I have a 3.6 GPA, which I would like to boost to 3.7 by the time I apply to ensure at least one US med school acceptance. I am academically dedicated and I consider myself slightly smarter than my average classmate at UCSD.
Should I be expecting some Cs or possibly worse?
