I talked to a bunch of seniors who all dropped out of the pre-med track (one actually even took her mcats). This is basically what they told me

1) Orgo at NU is hard.
2) Many NU students take orgo at Harvard.
3) NU does not take credit for orgo at Harvard.
4) Med schools take orgo from Harvard - but they know you took it there because it's easier at Harvard.
5) Just take it at NU.

I talked to one of the pre-med advisors and she said generally a given class will start off with 400-500 students interested in pre-med, but she said only about 230 of those actually take the MCATs. And she said to not do bio/orgo at the same time.

Anyways. I'm not taking the ap chem exam and even if I place into a higher level class I am planning on taking chem 101. Is it impossible (or highly discouraged) for me to take that and physics 135 at once?
