True but I remember reading an article that discussed whether future doctors really need to be good at calculus or organic chemistry (the answer was no…). It went on to discuss how so many people get weeded out which is unfortunate because many of these folks would have made great doctors. [/quote]

True but medical schools and residences don’t have enough space.
This could be the purpose of early reduction of potential applicants.[/quote]

Also they don’t necessarily need the content of those classes usually but med school is HARD (much harder than the pre reqs and they’re very definitely not trying to weed anyone out) so if you can’t cut it in organic it probably is a good idea not to go that route. [/quote]

Still, people do post-bacs, retake courses and end up getting to med school.

This board probably won’t go for this, but a lot of smart kids lack the maturity at 19 to do well in organic chemistry. [/quote]
