Haven't taken it yet but I heard that it's easier than Gen Chem (from my classmates). Based on your experience, did you find this true?

I found it much easier than general chem. Apples and oranges.
A in orgo is easy, and all of my friends--from the geniuses to the slightly less intelligent than average--all got As in Orgo 1 and 2. The people who don't gets As are typically very, very dim. This is from a wide range of colleges/universities all over the US, from Ivy to low-ranked public.

Thank you.Lol 6/10
The distribution at my school is usually pretty skewed to the right with a good amount failing and maybe 10% getting A'sWhere the hell did you go to school? At mine typically only 20% of kids get A's... I wouldn't call the average person not getting an A as being "typically very, very dim", especially in a class like orgo.
In my experience, advanced courses (e.g., advanced organic) are generally easier in that there is far less memorization; however, the significantly fewer concepts/topics are considerably more difficult to understand. I got an A in advanced organic, but I remember staring at crazy 2D NMR's for a week at a time.I managed to, but that was with a 35% curve for our final. This professor has a reputation for completely screwing his entire class of like 200 kids over on the final exam every year and being forced to curve an insane amount. I don't think I've ever written a harder test. Ironically enough, later organic chem courses I took (intermediate/advanced organic, spectroscopy) seemed a LOT easier than orgo I...

Hahah, mine started out with 2 other people in the course and ended with just me. "Class" was a more like me asking a few questions from the reading/problems and then an hour long social meeting.Yeah, I think that makes sense. Class sizes for those types of courses tend to be smaller too, so there's more one on one time with the instructor.

I'm sure lots of people get As in Orgo. I would imagine at least 20% of a class would get an A, probably much higher at top institutions. Most of my friends and I got As in Orgo, although lots failed and got poor grades. An A in Orgo will not stand out, unfortunately. Your Science GPA will matter though!
well this is a dumb thread...
I heard that Chuck Norris got an A+ in both classes. He got into every medical school he applied to, and he wasn't even pre-med. Just meditate on that for a while.
If you have to use an anonymous forum to brag about your grades and seek validation ...
--you're probably not even that competitive of an applicant and haven't seen clearly the fierce competition you're up against.
😳I think he was completing/adding on to your previous statement since you ended it with "..." Lolz
😳

@ditritium monoxide , if that's true, I apologize.
Binge watching Game of Thrones has left me aggressive lol![]()
