hey,

i dont understand why everyone says that 2nd year organic chem is a killer. Ok, i understand it is a "hard" course or "the weed out" course etc....but what exactly is it that makes it hard? Is it the amount of work, course content, profs, or what is it that most people seem terrified of it. The reason i m asking is that i m kinda at war with myself as to take it over the summer or over the regular academic year.

also, i wish to apply to med school after my undergrad, so is it a good idea to take it over summer or reg school year. what are some of the pros and cons of taking it over the reg school year and summer?

please give me realistic responses. By realistic, I mean plz dont give me ans that are like "if u work hard, u will be fine." b/c if there is anything uni has taught me, its that the key to success isn't just working hard, its a lot more :( so answers for the average person plz.

and thank u for the replies
