I have also heard based on people who have retaken or taken orgo at other schools that Brown is way harder. When I took orgo a few years ago, the tests would be structured into 3 parts: regurgitation of concepts, slight application of concepts, total application of concepts, and my grade would steadily decline over the course of the test since I could easily learn what happened in orgo and spot easily what was happening or would happening, but ask me how to go from compound A to compound B in 15 steps and I would struggle.

That being said, I got a C in CH35 and a B in CH36 and now i’m in an MD/PhD program at a top 20 school, and 10% of the medical school class of 2014 is from Brown.
