What is the hardest medical school class? Also, is organic chemistry grades a good predictor of how you will do in medical school?

Can't say much about the most difficult class in med school because I haven't started yet, but I will say that I doubt very seriously any correlation between Organic Chemistry and success in med school. I honestly can't think of a bigger waste of tuition and time than O-chem.

I think a good predictor of success in medical school is actual success in medical school 😛

I concur. Medical school is a whole 'nother ball game. Much of the info you learn in ochem is not even used in med school. You'll just have to wait and see how well you do. But you can certainly increase your chances of success by studying hard and staying on top of your work.

I thought Physio was pretty hard. I couldn't get what they were talking about in statistics though.

Well if that isn't the mst subjective question ever... 😀 j/k. Truly some people have difficulty with classes others breeze through. For me, I had difficulty with learning the entire human body in mindnumbing detail for Anatomy over a four month course. At Ross, for practicals, they would take a pelvis ( that you had been working on for months) , turn it upside down, cover portions of it with cloth ( so as to hide potential clues), and attach a label to a structure, name it , or the muscle(s) it innervates, etc. Not impossible but difficult.
I personally loved physio, pharm. and path...alot of info, but it was just interesting and made sense ( to me ). Anatomy still makes me shudder.
And honestly imho orgo. is no predictor of med. school success. Just get through it. All things in med school are at least interesting, if difficult, as they all pertain to the practice of medicine. Organic, really only has practical utility if you want to go into pharm/ anesthesia research or something.
