<p>I took 4 semesters of chemistry at Harvard. I was a non-chem concentrator, but even with having done AP beforehand, these classes were hard. Not undoable, but requiring a lot of time in study groups, getting additional help, doing problems, and so on. The 4th semester class (Chem 27 or 30) requires a 5-hour lab each week, plus time for write-up. But then, most science classes at Harvard are challenging. </p>
<p>If you like chemistry, though, go for it! Though these were some of the hardest classes I took, I was still glad I took them because the material is interesting. Congratulations on your admission! Jobs in consulting, i-banking, and other fields will be readily available if you concentrate in any science/math field, as well as many others.</p>
<p>The student handbook does a great job outlining requirements for the concentration. See here: [Chemistry[/url</a>]</p>
