At my undergrad school, organic was relatively easy because the class was mostly bio majors and premeds with a handful of chemistry majors (and many of my classmates ended up washing out of bio or premed into easier majors after bombing O-chem). P-chem was a killer because there were no non-majors in the class to make the curve easier, and I had always thought of it as the hardest area of chemistry until I got to grad school and found that all of the over-the-top 80-hour-a-week groups were organic.KTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-24171931339074284562019-01-09T09:34:13.926-05:002019-01-09T09:34:13.926-05:00And nanomaterial chemists should be below biologis...And nanomaterial chemists should be below biologists when they realize it's just y2k colloid chemistry...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-90613697028187125622019-01-09T09:30:16.460-05:002019-01-09T09:30:16.460-05:00I'm not sure whether polymer chemists would be...I'm not sure whether polymer chemists would be between analytical and organic or between analytical and physical - probably the latter, but I don't know.Hapnoreply@blogger.com
