Alexander JohnsonI didn’t take Orgo 2, got a 519 and a pile of II’s. It’s not necessary for the MCAT, and most schools no longer require it. How much of the MCAT is organic chemistry? You likely spent one or two entire semesters studying organic chemistry, but the MCAT will ask you only about 6 to … Read more
They look to see how you scored in each section, making organic chemistry suddenly more valuable. Consequently, even though it’s a small part of just two sections on the MCAT, skipping orgo study will tank your score in these sections, making you look bad. How much of the MCAT is organic chemistry? You likely spent … Read more
You likely spent one or two entire semesters studying organic chemistry, but the MCAT will ask you only about 6 to 12 questions on organic chemistry out of 230 total questions. In other words, only 3 to 5 percent of your entire exam is likely to cover organic chemistry. How important is Orgo on the … Read more
Organic chem is definitely harder than biochem. It’s much harder to visualize and relate to. It also involves more problem solving. Perhaps the biggest difference between the two subjects is organic chemistry’s dependence on synthesis and reaction problems. How many organic chemistry classes do you need for medical school? Organic chemistry: 2 semesters; 6-8 semester … Read more
Most medical schools require one year each of biology, physics, chemistry, and organic chemistry with laboratories. Most schools further require a year of college level mathematics and English. How many organic chemistry classes do you need for medical school? Organic chemistry: 2 semesters; 6-8 semester hours, laboratory work not required. Biochemistry: 3-4 semester hours, laboratory … Read more
It really depends on your professor and how the class is taught. All universities are different. In most cases I think that would be fine to skip O-Chem II, especially if you do very well in O-Chem I. Many BioChem classes are taught from more of a “biological” perspective – more of the Bio and … Read more
NYU Medical School admissions statistics With an acceptance rate of just 2.1 percent, NYU Grossman is one of the most competitive medical schools in the country. How many semesters of organic chemistry do you need for medical school? Organic chemistry: 1 academic year (2 semesters or 3 quarters). Physics: 1 academic year (2 semesters or … Read more
A-level Chemistry is the essential one for a Biochemistry degree, plus at least one other science (Biology or Physics) or Mathematics. If you don’t have Biology to full A-level, it would at least be helpful to have it at AS-level; though not a requirement, it would give you useful background knowledge. Do you need organic … Read more
