Harvard Summer Intensive Orgo (S-20ab)

[BritishTEAcup]

Just registered for the summer course and was wondering if any past students could provide any tips to succeed in the class. How are labs? How manageable is it to get A- or above? Did students tend to be collaborative? Were you able to take time to relax a little (even just an hour or so)? How were dorms/food?

Thanks in advance!

The only thing worse than having to take organic chemistry again would be taking an intensive summer organic program, and with Harvard students as my opponents.
Intensive summer prerequisites are a dangerous gamble. Especially with something as potentially grueling as Orgo.

I heard that most students there are actually from WashU

Sirinya is awesome. Get ready to put in work, though... It's a big gamble because it's not unlikely you'll slap your sGPA with 8 credits of B+.

@Gurby @truewolvgocrim1 How are labs structured? Any general tips for studying/managing time? Thanks!
