<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I was wondering how difficult organic chemistry is at Northeastern. I took general chemistry last year at a different University and it was not very rigorous. I'm basically asking if you are required to know a lot of information before stepping into the class.</p>
<p>Organic chemistry isn’t easy anywhere, but I found the class to be reasonable. I took 2 years of chem in high school (including a semester of organic) and took the AP test after my junior year. I took orgo my sophomore year of college and was able to jump into it without any problems.</p>
<p>Orgo is fairly different from the inorganic chemistry you study in general chemistry. There are a lot of inorganic concepts that are only tangentially relevant to what you’ll cover in an intro organic chemistry course. Is there some sort of self-assessment somewhere online about what you should know after a college gen chem course that you could make sure you have the basics down solid before starting orgo?</p>
<p>Since you are not getting an answer from a student from Northeastern, why not try their facebook page and post a question or message them. They may be able to answer you. It’s helped me with other schools</p>
