I've taken some. Fructokinase, etc. "More like borophyll" still kills.

Where you take it definitely makes a difference. UT organic is much more difficult than the course offered at some other schools. Actually, the same is true for any science course.

yeah, pretty much. It was pretty funny that there was a kid in my class from vandy that got his azz wiped...and dropped after the second test.

I don't know about UT but it does depend on where you take it. Some schools do not require you to take the american chemical society standardized test....some do. Regardless, most people who take orgo 1 and 2 are going to have to know it for the mcat, dat, etc.

They are used to getting a lot more individual attention. Lots of people want to act like Vandy is so much more challenging. I'm not necessarily sure that's true. I know some grads that have told me they basically hold your hand in some classes.

at some point, it all runs together and nothing makes sense...then you narrow it down to two and guess

Trust me, the amount of knowledge needed to get a C in organic at UT is much greater than what you'll need for any of those tests.

all schools have their programs they protect, i'm sure that vandy is no different. I do hear that they're science dept is pretty good.

My days are, school for 2 hours, work for 7 hours, homework for an hour, posting for 2 hours spread throughout the day, watching whatever is on basic cable when I go to sleep and the occasional bar trip. I don't even have time to try to get laid.
