<p>Title pretty much says it all but I'm having a hard time getting anyone on the phone to answer my question.</p>

<p>Going through the course list I see no sections, which really scares me as a premed since I NEED that full year of orgo labs.</p>

<p>I am considering taking it at a local community college that I know has a pretty good program/prof. + the fact the lecture and lab are offered together.</p>

<p>If you take a look at the "organic chem section" here:</p>

<p>Binghamton</a> University - Academics: Schools and Colleges: Harpur Advising: Pre-Health: Curriculum: Medicine</p>

<p>You will find that those course sections correspond to orgo 1, orgo 2 and orgo 2 lab which is the same courses that are found in the course list for fall 2011.</p>

<p>Any information would be appreciated.</p>

<p>there are MANY pre-med students at Binghamton and MANY do get into med school – so first of all, calm down.</p>

<p>have you tried contacting people in pre-health advising? [Binghamton</a> University - Academics: Schools and Colleges: Harpur Advising: Pre-Health: Contact Information](<a href=“http://www2.binghamton.edu/pre-health/contact.html]Binghamton”>http://www2.binghamton.edu/pre-health/contact.html) if you can’t reach anyone on the phone, maybe you can email them? carefully explain your question – ie what you understand you need for pre-med and your question as to what is offered and how it in fact meets pre-med requirements.</p>

<p>have you looked at the freshman-sophomore pre-health handbook? <a href=“http://www2.binghamton.edu/pre-health/documents/FrSoHandbook2011.pdf[/url]”>http://www2.binghamton.edu/pre-health/documents/FrSoHandbook2011.pdf&lt;/a&gt; (i don’t know if it answers your specific question, but it has a lot of pre-health info in general)</p>

<p>I think it’s safe to assume that the pre-Med track has taken into account the requirements for most - if not all - med schools.</p>

<p>Well unfortunately many schools have it wrong. Fortunately for us Binghamton does not. Med schools require a “full year” of both orgo I + lab and orgo II + lab. However binghamton structures it in such a way that the “full year” is satisfied by an extensive orgo II lab – all is well again in the world.</p>
