<p>I don’t believe the science majors have it any easier sophomore year. Some of the required classes for bio majors such as genetics and biochem are notoriously tough. Same thing with chem majors with Orgo. You can memorize the entire textbook and miserably fail the final. My D is a Course 9 major and premed. It it is only now as a Junior she is finally able to catch her breath. Any course with lots of psets tends to be a back-breaker. Next semester she is cross-registering at Harvard for Orgo II , one of her premed requirements, in part to give her more time to focus on her Course 9 classes. There is simply no comparison with the amount of work she would have taking the same chemistry class at MIT.</p>
