Med school is like packaging Orgo 1 into about 3 weeks of class time and then repeating with new material every 3 weeks for the entire school year. The second year is the same, but with Orgo 2.

Thank you for your answer! I understand that it's possible to learn ALOT of things in a short amount of time in any discipline.

Comparing ochem to med school is like comparing the MCAT to step 1. It just doesn't quite work.

correct me if im wrong, but dont med schools use your mcat to determine your potential success in med school/step 1?

Your MCAT is a marker of academic prowess. While apparently the majority of SDN disagrees, smarter, more academically sound students make for better doctors.

Wouldn't Orgo 1 and 2 fit that analogy as well?

Which is why it is a prerequisite for medical school...

I do this every year... I go to Colorado College. Hurray for sciences on the Block Plan. I have a feeling it's good preparation for graduate school and/or med school.

A's in both orgos... Medical school is harder, but not because the material is more complicated. There's just more to manage.

By the way, medical school has absolutely nothing to do with orgo. You'll never use that knowledge after you take the MCAT.
