Soooo to try and clarify, a lot of this depends on

a) your natural intelligence
b) your work ethic
c) your aptitude towards the subject you’re studying.

If you’re taking orgo, then yeah, it might be about 10 hours a week. But if it’s another premed class, say biology, then maybe its 5. It really depends on the class.

Just remember, Duke’s average MCAT is a 34. That means that by being average coming out of Duke, you’re at the 91.2–93.6 percentile. …To me, that’s an incredible advantage. Duke prepares you VERY well.
