<p>Why just generic gen chem? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>whats p- or a-chem?</p>
<p>for my college we have general chem and then go on to ochem</p>
<p>Physical and analytical chemistry, respectively.</p>
<p>You don’t need to know any of this higher level chemistry for medical school</p>
<p>You barely have to have a working understanding of organic chemistry to do anything in medical school…seriously the only concept that is routinely used is that of hydrophobic and hydrophilic qualities…</p>
<p>There are lots of things which are not useful for medical school. P-chem, a-chem, Shakespeare, public policy, etc.</p>
<p>The problem is that p-chem and a-chem are also notoriously difficult.</p>
<p>Shakespeare, while not use for medical school, still fulfills my lit req, and I do happen to love the author’s work.</p>
<p>Do you recommend not taking it, in favor of a different course?</p>
<p>I make no recommendation regarding Shakespeare.</p>
<p>The point was that irrelevance to medical school is not in and of itself a reason not to take a course.</p>
<p>I recommend against Shakespeare because Shakespeare sucks.</p>
