Urgent Situation
Hello everyone! I hope you are all well and are staying safe! I’m in quite an issue and I am losing so much sleep from it.
I got a C+ in a class last semester and I was torn from it. I ended registering for the class again but that was a big mistake. I took Organic chemistry 2 but having taken Organic Chemistry 1 online, this has not been a pleasant class at the moment.
I fell behind in my class that I’m retaking and really want to drop it and retake it next semester when my schedule is...

No Biochemistry Offered At My School?
I go to a community college and there are no other colleges/universities in my area (for at least 90+ miles). My college does not offer biochemistry! I am really frustrated since I know I could take it online at another university, but that doesn't look great for admissions from what I've heard.
HOWEVER, my school does offer a 100 level class called "Introduction to Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry." The prerequisite is General Chem 1, which I have already taken. Is this class worth...

Harvard Extension School Premed Postbac
Hey! I’m just waiting to hear back from Harvard Extension. Those that applied recently how long did it take you to hear back from them?
Also did anyone take Biology I, Organic chemistry I and Physics I in the fall semester with labs? I have a strong biology background but much less strong in chemistry and physics. Is it possible? Anyone do any of these and work?
Thanks so much in advance (Source: Student Doctor Network)

I got an acceptance without all of the traditional prerequisites.
That’s right. I did not take physics, half of organic chemistry, and a ton of labs. I applied to 16 MD programs, received 3 interviews, one rejection post-interview, one pending, and one acceptance.
My LM is 60, ORM, graduated undergrad 10 years ago at an institution ranked around #200, no SMP, no post-bacc, applied to schools that didn’t have hard requirements, made sure I mission-fit.
My point is, you’re non-traditional. You don’t have to take the traditional non-traditional route of...

UCLA Organic Chemistry Series Question
Hello everyone,
I had a question regarding the 30 series at UCLA for medical school. I received a C- in Chem30C which is the third course in the series. I did well in 30A and B receiving A's in both. However, I know that C-'s don't cut it in medical school prerequisites. The life science majors only have to take two Organic chemistry courses and are fine applying to medical school 14C and 14D.
So I was wondering if just by doing well in 30A and 30B I can satisfy those same requirements or...

Will Organic be easier summer intensive at the local state college vs fall/spring at an Ivy?
Background info: I'm hoping to go straight on to med school from undergrad, which means applying at the end of my junior year of college. I'm taking second semester inorganic chem and first semester Bio currently as a 2nd semester freshman. Got a 4.0 first semester, at a top Ivy. I'm a consistent and hard-working student, tend to approach the work methodically, spending many hours on problem sets, working alone and with classmates, and going to office hours. My intended major is not in a...

Taking Orgo 2 for the 5th time - am I delusional?
I am going to be taking Organic Chemistry 2 for the 5th time this summer. (Lord.) I took Organic Chemistry 1 THREE times before I finally passed with a C. I HATE chemistry to say the least. I don't get it at all but to be fair, if I spent more time with the material than I currently do, I might manage to absorb something. It's gotten to the point where I considered having short-term memory loss.
That said, I think a big factor with this is my confidence level. After having struggled so much...

Persistent tachycardia in potential first-break psychosis
Hi all,
I have this patient on our unit who is in their early 20s. She presents as having severe borderline personality disorder but has a strong family history of bipolar disorder I as well. She was medication naive at presentation save for venlafaxine. The only odd thing about her is that she has persistent tachycardia into the 120s and has since her arrival. She's not dehydrated. She has negative ANA and CRP. Do you think there could be something organic underlying her mix of BPD +/-...

Future Applicant
Hi everyone;
I read a lot in this thread. I thought I would post too.
Undergraduate I finished poorly 2.7 GPA. Mostly due to having surgeries throughout my first two years, ACL, two hernia’s. I missed a lot, wasn’t motivated at the time.
Fast-forward to post-graduation, I kind of did my own post-bacc and just retook all my pre-reqs at another school and finished with all A’s besides a B in Gen Bio 2 lol, got A’s in physics and organic/gen chemistry, etc.
Now I enrolled in a Medical...

Struggling
Hello, I am currently a sophomore pre-veterinary student and I am struggling. I did pretty well for my first year of undergrad last year finishing with a 3.57 GPA. This semester has been a different story however. In the first month of school I had an unexpected surgical procedure and I went into a big depression after. Long story short, I had to withdraw from my organic chemistry class and I am possibly going to fail two classes (philosophy and a communications class). In addition, I am...

Texas schools offering online organic chemistry
What schools in Texas offer online organic chemistry? What I would find helpful is the name of a school, possibly including an instructor's name. What would not be helpful is why I shouldn't take online organic chemistry. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

I need some advice regarding which schedule you'll like to pick.
I will be taking Ecology, Algebra-physics 1, Organic Chemistry, and two other minor 1 credit online classes.
*Note I MUST take these classes this semester in order to take the classes I want next semester*
Ecology lecture has only one teacher and he teaches M and W (1:30 pm - 2:45 pm)
Organic chemistry 1 has two lecturers: Teacher A - teaches M W (10:30 am - 11:45 am) or Teacher B - teaches (online)
Algebra-physics 1 has two lecturers: Teacher C - T TR (9:45am - 10:30 am) or...

Need Help Planning
Hello, everyone.
So as the title says I need help planning haha. So I am finishing my BS in Biology in three years (May 2023) instead of four and at my school they alternate years organic chemistry is offered since it is a small school. My issue is that I will not be taking organic chemistry until my senior year so I am wondering how that will interfere with the process. When should I take my MCAT? I just am really confused about the process but am wanting to go down the medicine route in...
