Different subjects are harder for different people, depending on how you learn. Chemistry and physics often use a lot of problem-solving skills and are less strict memorization. You need to know the general concept and then utilize that knowledge to help you find the answer. Granted, you will need to know basic properties and there is some memorization, but I have found that my biology classes require you to know a lot more specific details and a lot less general concepts. That being said, depending on how you study and learn, you may find some subjects harder than others.

I know students with near perfect GPAs as engineering students and others that faltered early on.

BS/MD programs are very competitive. Are you a freshman in high school or college?
