<p>IChO is kind of ridiculous, and I love Chem nearly as much as I love Bio.</p>
<p>I started studying for USABO in August of 2009, after having self-studied AP Bio, and found it to be quite enjoyable, on the whole; I’m a National Finalist this year. But unless you REALLY LOVE Bio or Chem like I do, you’ll have a much harder time at it than I did.</p>
<p>I understand that you guys are trying to impress upon me the difficulty of qualifying. But with my new biological formula that I invented I no longer have to sleep so I’ll have plenty of time 
haha jkjk but I think that I phrased the question incorrectly. I’m more looking to be in the top 150 (or 20 if at allpossible bc I will be putting the work in + college classes)…instead of the top 4 (I didn’t realize that me titling it IBO or IChO specifically meant the top 4). So thank you guys for your help, despite the incredulousness. Also biology labs? Anyone have comments on that?</p>
