How Bad is Orgo/Bio Together?

^Regarding your thought that med school has “exponentially more work” than courses at NU, one of my friends got two B+ in orgo (don’t know how he did in his third quarter) but he got the second highest scores in one of his first year classes at a top-20 med school.

I do know that NU orgo is a lot harder than some others. One of my classmates got so scared of another C that she took it at a college near her home over a summer. It became as easy A for her. To mitigate the risk that med school admission may frown upon such practice, some of the students would take orgo/bio at Harvard during the summers.
