<p>that Harvard's o-chem courses are easier than Northwestern's?</p>
<p>Maybe not necessarily easier, but I’m sure the curves are better at harvard (i.e. the averages are probably curved to a B+/A- vs. being curved to a B-/B)</p>
<p>When I did the HPME interview, the M-2’s told me that this is true. The university supposedly had to make it a requirement that specific majors had their o-chem credit from Northwestern because students would take summer courses at Harvard and the like to avoid it.</p>
<p>For the record, most Orgo classes at NU are curved to a C+/B-… I have not heard of any other school that has a harder curve – and most are B-/B.</p>
