Our S took Orgo at NU his freshman year after getting a 5 on AP Chem in his junior year of high school, and I don’t think having a year “off” from Chem made any real difference.

He is ISP versus pre-med, so his freshman course load was about as challenging as it gets, but he still had time for the Jazz Orchestra, being active in a frat and playing club soccer, so apparently Orgo during freshman year can be survived (I won’t comment on the sanity of ISP kids, though). ;)

I do think most of D’s older pre-med friends at NU waited to take Orgo their sophomore or even junior years, though, for what that’s worth.
