chemistry

Okay, so I have to drop Chem I. its either drop it or get an F! I don't understand why this class is too hard :( I am a non-traditional student with a full time career but all I do in my spare time is study for chem. Even with a tutor, this class is super hard and by accident and just not...

Hi everyone so I was just wondering if its okay to claim AP lab credit for chemistry (I am taking the actual general chemistry courses). I'm from Texas and from looking at the Texas medical schools prerequisites, they do accept AP credit. However, when I ask my advisers if I should claim credit...

I just want to help people. I am in Pre Nursing because you don’t need advanced math skills, nursing dosage and you are done. I don’t want to be that nurse who regrets not going for their MD/DO, but if I know that my math skills won’t cut it or it’s too late to catch up on them, I can live with...

Hey there SDN, Due to its rigor and the "GPA killer factor", is it a bad idea to major in Chemistry for pre-med? I am 100% set on my goal of going to Med School and I want nothing else than to be a Doc. I was just accepted to the University of Texas at Ausin to study Psychology and pre-med (I...

Hey Everyone! I see a lot of people asking about how to "get in" to research as an undergrad, well fear not! Your good buddy RogueBanana has made a guide just for you! So Roguey, how do I find a spot as a research assistant? I'm glad you asked! 1- Ask A Professor So there are a lot of ways...

I'm applying next summer, and right now I have a 2.9 after graduating. I have Cs in both gen chems, as well as ochem I, then a B in ochem II and a C- in biochem. I'm enrolled in two gen chem classes right now at a CC, but is it worth retaking them? I have about 160 units since I changed my...

Hello everyone, I am a current Biochem. undergrad student and I got into this career just because I like chemistry. I am a junior now, and I still don't know what I want to do after my undergrad. I don't even know my options. I know this is a very vague and a stupid question, but can someone...

Can someone please explain this question to me on how they get the answer, I've read explanations but for some reason I am still confused and i feel dumb for asking this lol Which of the following electronic transitions in the hydrogen atom would involve an emission of a photon of the shortest...

I know this topic has been posted ad infinitum in these forums, and so much advice has been given. I've used the search function but something is still eating at me to the point where I'm now posting instead of lurking. I love psychology. Ever since I took AP psych in high school i've fell in...

First post here, so please cut me a little break. Long story short, I am currently taking my second semester of organic II with the lab. All my time is focused on this at the moment. I know I need to study for the DAT, and plan to within the upcoming months. My issue is, it has honestly been a...

I'll keep this short and sweet. I was informed that my introductory chemistry courses (3 classes) don't fulfill the general chemistry requirement. Now I'm faced with having to take another year of general chemistry courses in addition to the remainder of my pre-reqs (Physics, BioChem, O-chem...

My gen chem professor has been sent several plants from Zambia, Africa by an MD friend of his who wanted students to look into the plants' medicinal properties, specifically treating infertility. Unfortunately the plants have already been processed for research (some are in powder form). Also we...

So a little back story I am American and my husband is Canadian, we're living in the states right now and I'm getting my undergraduate here in the states in nursing. transferring my nursing credentials up there is no issue, dealing with the visa process is no big deal (as well as something for...

Hi everyone, SoI think I'm going to retake gen chem and orgo at my local community college, I really really REALLY need help in these courses and figured that I should just retake them while studying for the rest of the sections at home. (I have destroyer/TY jacobs notes/Feralis/Cliffs 3rd...

So I know that the averages are pretty low for the ACS finals (averages of about 50%), but I thought I could at least get a C+/B without any sort of curve. I just took the ACS Gen Chem I final today and definitely failed because I couldn't finish it on time. I did manage to bubble in D's for...

Hi I wanted to make this thread to see if people had content questions for the DAT. I usually learn best from teaching and was hoping people could ask me questions they have. That way, if I don't know the answer right away I can study it and reply, or further reinforce my knowledge! Shoot away...

DAT coming in about 13 days and it seems like my 2+ months of prep have gone to waste. Although comparatively, Im doing well on all the other sections, Im scoring 14 and 16 on Bootcamp chem portion. Ironically, chem has been the section I've been prepping for the most as I knew it was my...

First off, before I get into the breakdown of my studying, I just want to thank everyone for their helpful posts and keeping this forum thriving and helpful for many! I took the DAT July 27th, I want to help people that were just like me, reading through the detailed breakdowns of others to see...

Hi, I just recently graduated from my high school and started considering the medical career. I went to a professional conservatory and have NEVER taken any biology and chemistry classes. I will be studying at Wesleyan University this fall. I was wondering how hard it would be for me to study...

Hi everyone. I've recently decided to change my long term plans and have decided that nursing is a good fit for me, with CRNA certification being a further goal. My questions: - After getting my bachelors degree, I plan on enrolling in an accelerated BSN program. What does this provide me in...

@orgoman22 I understand the explanation of the answer to this problem, but I am still confused by answer choice 'd' (2X -->X + Y). I am having trouble thinking of an analogous real-world scenario in which you would have 2 of the same starting molecule/atom on the left side, and end up on the...

Hey guys, I was reviewing formal charges and came across what I originally thought was a straightforward problem (thinking otherwise now). The question is asking me to determine the formal charge on nitrogen in the following molecule: CH3-CH=NH2 I have been using the equation [# of valence...

Sorry, posted this in the wrong forum. Disregard!

Hi All- I have been trolling these threads of late (as I am sure many people do) as I begin my journey as a pre-med student. To give you all some background- I am a 25 year old student (non-trad) that just graduated from University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I did very well in my...

"Which halide will undergo SN2 reaction most readily?" I understand that all 4 choices suck, but I was between B & C when choosing the "most ready to undergo SN2". This is because I thought that even though tertiary halide is generally the worst scenario for SN2 to occur, you still get some of...

Hi I am a junior in High School and I plan to major in Chemical Engineering, and with that degree I want to go to Pharmacy school afterwards and work at a company like Pfizer afterwards. Is the degree that I want compatible for what I want to do? or am I completely insane. I absolutely love...

A lot of med schools are moving towards core competencies, thank god, but a fair number of schools still have hard and fast requirements, including two semesters of general chemistry. At my college, gen chem is a one semester course. What are my options?
