If you attended the full Ochem 2 session, you should be fine, as you should already know the material. That leaves you taking only 2 hard sciences in reality which should be easily doable.

I took Biochem concurrently with Organic 2. As well as 13 credit hours of other coursework. It wasn't a problem for me, but my Biochem was curved. I struggled way more in Organic, but that wasn't because I didn't have time to study.

Hi everyone,

So this summer I was granted a medical incomplete for Ochem II, but continued to attend class the entire 5 week session. Ochem II is a pre requisite for biochemistry, however the professor made an exception, as I attended class throughout the summer for Ochem II. I was planning on reviewing carbonyl chemistry before classes start up again, but am I putting myself in a very bad position if I try and take Biochem, OChem II and Cell Phys together? All are 3 credit classes with no labs. I'm taking the MCAT this spring, and want to have all my pre reqs done when I begin studying in January, which is why I am pushing Biochem this fall.

Opinions? Am I doomed?

Thanks!

I took orgo 2 and biochem in the same semester and was able to ace both but it was definitely tough. They do kind of contribute to one another though and I thoroughly enjoyed taking them together. I think you'll be fine OP as long as you go in with the mindset that this will be very challenging.

Would you be concerned going into Biochem without technically taking Ochem II (i.e. exams etc)?

I mean, if you actually sat through the course, then no.

No, if you can't do well in these courses then you may not do well in medical school.

I took orgo 2, biochem, general physics 1, a graduate level seminar, and another (more humanities-type) chemistry class together, with two labs (orgo and physics), while working full time. I did fine (3 A+, 1 A, 1 A-); you will too if you're willing to just about kill yourself to get it done.
