Hey, I am thinking about taking just 1 class this summer, and its only a 2 credit class and is a lab. Would this be a problem since I am not full time? Would it look like I am just taking it easy? Or am I being too over neurotic?


Also, I recently scored really well on the ACS organic chemistry exam, is the MCAT organic section similar to this?
 
Med schools don't look down on anyone who did not take summer classes before, let alone taking a two-credit class. Are you doing other things over the summer? As long as you spend it meaningfully, you are fine =)

I am not sure if there are others who took ACS orgo before, but I am guessing that many sub-topics within orgo would overlap. Check out the free AAMC #3 full length or other FLs and see if you could find a sample orgo passage there. That should give you a better idea!
 
The ACS was harder than any orgo I've seen on MCAT practices so far.
