<p>what are some of the most difficult courses for pre-med track?</p>
<p>let me start:</p>
<p>-Organic Chemistry</p>
<p>please add on to this list</p>
<p>there are only a few courses that you need to take in order to gain admission to med school: bio 141 and 142, chem 141 and 142, organic chem, physics, and calculus. i would assume that from that list organic chem would be the most difficult.</p>
<p>I have sincere respect for those who take and pass organic chemistry.</p>
<p>exactly what makes it hard?</p>
<p>I think everyone assuming its will be the hardest course they've ever taken doesn;t help things</p>
<p>I have many friends on the pre-med track that have taken organic chemistry; they said they'd rather be shot.</p>
<p>Psychology 110/111 with Edwards especially</p>
<p>Any class with Ron Schuchard is tough. I had him last semester for english, and he almost drove me crazy.</p>
<p>psyc 110 is hard. But i got an A in Schuchard's class. What class did you take? I didn't think he was as difficult as Psyc and some others, not even close. Plus, he's one of the smartest profs at Emory. He's also not teaching next year, so no worries.</p>
<p>Any favorite freshman seminars you would recommend? Many look good.</p>
<p>man.. I was going to take psyc 110 for 'fun' (to fulfill the GER) hmm it seems like I need to reconsider taking it.</p>
<p>I think a lot of the seminars change every semester, depending on who is teaching, what the prof is researching at the time, etc. I had a good friend that took a class in the math department about statistics in gambling and sports that was interesting and very popular. If you can wait until you have access to the class comments conference on learnlink, maybe consider looking up the profs on there to compare. Since the class topics are usually something a little unorthodox, it's hard to tell how good the class is going to be just on subject matter alone. Since the seminar doesn't always count towards your major, but is still a requirement, maybe take it in a subject you know nothing about or consider interesting, but would not want to major in? Like if you're premed, maybe something in anthropology or English wouldn't normally fit into your schedule, but as a seminar you could be exposed to it without using up an elective. </p>
<p>I don't know who the question was to, movinmom, but I hope that helps. If there's anything else, please let me know. Like I said before, there are about 9 advisors that freshman meet in the first week, who can all help with schedules, classes, majors, and all that.</p>
<p>I took an orgo class in high school out of a college book - it's really not as difficult as everyone says it is</p>
<p>dgebll,</p>
<p>How did you get an A in Ron Scuchard's class? What did you do? I worked my behind off on his papers, and I always got a B! </p>
<p>I ended up with a B in that class, and I haven't had a B in an English class for years!</p>
<p>I took Poetry.</p>
