Organic chemistry is a wonderful subject to which every naive
Pre-Medical undergraduate will sacrifice his/her body to prove to his/her perpetually displeased
parents that yes, the student is not wasting
tuition money and is indeed attempting to secure a
prestigious career.
Organic chemistry will introduce concepts such as infrared spectroscopy and grignard reactions. Even though, this course is taught as a prerequisite to medical school admission, upon interviewing many medical school students, the course is seen as a form of hazing or a way to weed out the students that are in the track only to become rich. Furthermore, the course is seen as unnecessary and barbaric by some standards of medical school students.
