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. |
That is pretty heavy, I will be doing the same in Media "type" projects in the next 2 years beer:
