[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I often hear this is one of the hardest college classes, if not the hardest. I did not take this. But, for kids going to a lot of stem paths, they'll have to do so. Why is it so hard? What makes it that way? Anyone take it (I'm sure lots have)? Can a kid who is slightly above average in HS Chem do well in O-Chem?[/quote] Yes to your question. Our DD took regular Chem, no APs, basic honors math, no Calc, in HS and aced Organic Chem at VT. She is super smart but was involved in a HS extra curricular that took most of her focus. She ended up loving the challenge of Chem in college and graduated with Biochem/Chem majors, worked at an HYP Ivy for post grad and is looking at top PhD programs. It can be done but there has to be an interest. Most figure it out after the first exam! So many fellow students were doing it just to get into med school. Those kids are gunning for As and will take it more than once if necessary. [/quote]
