<p>It really should go without saying, but I agree with that completely. Or almost. The social acceptance thing goes to fit. And it helps, both for fit and for your core criterion #2, if the Organic Chemistry professors choose to feel successful when their students do well in the course and on the MCATs, as opposed to humiliating and maybe driving away students whose interest in organic chemistry does not extend beyond medical school admission requirements. I am not suggesting that anything like that happens at Chicago today . . . but I’m not so sure it didn’t sometimes happen in the not-too-distant past.</p>
