Hi,

I'm deciding whether I should take both orgo 1 and 2 in the summer and writing the DAT in late Oct after some studying. or just do orgo 1 and study for DAT and write it end of Aug and then do the orgo 2 later. Do any of you guys know if orgo 1 is good enough for the DAT or should I be taking both orgo? I'm having this issue since everybody says it's a must to apply early with the DAT score.

What year are you applying for? October is very late for the next round and WAY WAY early for the following!

Orgo 1 is not enough for the DAT, so unless you plan on learning the rest of organic chemistry on your own, I would wait to take the DAT until after completing the class. However, I do know one friend that took only one semester of orgo before taking the DAT and learned the rest on their own and did fine, so its possible.
