<p>I'm a junior in high school currently, and next year I might have the amazing opportunity to take up to 2 classes per semester at Case for free. To apply, I need to come up with a list of classes that I would like to take. </p>

<p>I want to be on a premed track in college, so I thought that it would be really nice if I got a head start on the more difficult premed subjects like organic chemistry. I'll only have 3 high school classes next year (AP US gov, AP biology, and AP physics), so I'll have more time to focus on organic chemistry than I would as a full-time college student.</p>

<p>I was thinking about taking organic chemistry classes: either introductory or regular. But I'm scared about organic chemistry supposedly being a "weed out" class. I figured the introductory classes would be better than the regular classes, but I don't know how much better. So how difficult are the introductory classes, and how difficult are the regular classes?</p>

<p>By the way, I'm doing well in AP chemistry, if that's any indicator for how well I'll do in organic chem.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help. <3</p>

<p>I’m wondering that myself, considering that I will be a Biochem major.</p>

<p>I have a few friends that took O Chem at Case. I don’t think any of them got better than a C in the class. I would reccomend taking CHEM 105 first (Intro Chem.)</p>

<p>It’s known as the pre-med weed-out course everywhere, at every college in the US! Not a class for a high school student, IMO.</p>
