<p>I’d like to add one thing to my previous post: I am somewhat surprised that your adviser told you to go straight into orgo. Academic advisers almost always err on the side of caution. If even your adviser thinks that you should give orgo a try, he/she is either confident in your ability to succeed or else there’s something terribly wrong with the gen chem course. Either way, it seems that you have nothing to lose by giving orgo a shot.</p>
