Calculus was quite annoying. I loved organic 1 and 2!
 
orgo II, i didn't really like my teacher so maybe that is why.
I loved physics, it was the most logical pre-med class for me 😀
 
Physics I was definitely the hardest with O Chem I and II coming in a close second.
 
I'd say biology. I did not hate it and still don't hate it. But the sheer memorization required was the hardest for me. I found orgo to be "soothing and fun" because of the professor. Physics was a breeze because of the professor, and my calc II and III professor is the best damn lady I've ever met. She used to teach a bit a UMaryland for those of you that may be a bit older, Lia Vas.

The hundreds of dollars for the MCAT along with the cost to apply to schools really hurt. And yes, the thousands of dollars it costs to go to the med school interviews. Oh well, it is the cost of doing business.
 
EASILY Organic Chemistry.
 
definately physics for me was the hardest.
 
Physics is still killing me...but it is a notoriously hard course at my school, so I don't feel too bad
 
Organic made the most sense to me. Physics - well, let's just say I thought I understood it most of the time, but apparently my professor & the MCAT people disagree. :laugh:
I picked math just because that was my lowest grade, though. But it was probably physics.
 
Physics is hurting me right now...it seems really logical, but I don't have the time I need to study for it!

Haven't taken O Chem yet, though.
 
Organic I and II were bad for me. During the second semester, I just stopped caring about R and S and figured I had a 50/50 chance.
 
biochem. Hands down. The bio majors didn't have much trouble with it, but the chem majors were trying to learn all that d*mn bio stuff that we didn't have before.

I thought physics was a breeze -- it just made sense to me (although 1/3 of the class failed, including several potential physics majors).
 
I hated Organic chem. Loved physics though.
 
Physics was the worst. I took Calc-based physics, as my school didn't offer algebra-based. Brutal! Barely scraped by with a B+. Counting the homework, tutoring sessions, labs, and lecture time, I spent 20-25 hours a week on that class alone. I'm now starting Physics II in a couple of days, this time algebra-based (thank GOD). Still, it blows, because the material is hard (I got the waves/magnetism one).
 
hated physics! but i hate math too, so i guess that is why.
