O-chem is some of the toughest stuff I've ever done in my life... my advice is to not start now, you should have done that a year ago if you were gonna go for it.
im only 18 though, its not like i cant start it. why exactly is it so hard? just because of the math involved? would you say the pay is worth it?
the chem is the hardest part, easily. The only reason I dropped it is because I had a very slim chance of getting into the program... you apply after your sophomore year at madison... basically you need a near 4.0 and a great PCAT score to get in... the pay is worth it, you can pay off your extra school cost in a few years on the salary. If you do decide to go for it, you better be ready for some of the toughest years of your life, I wasnt up for it, my GPA was great for most things.. but not close enough to 4.0. You better have a passion for chem and be ready to do hard ass 3-5 hour labs once and twice a week for 2 entire year.
