Hello all!

I just have a quick question or two for you regarding the Orgo class that's required by what seems to be most CRNA programs. I'm currently taking it, and while even though we've only had 1 test thus far, I'm worried that I'll probably not be able to pull anything higher than a B out of the course. How do you feel a grade like that in a class that seems to be weighted very heavily in the admissions process would reflect on me as an applicant? Did any of you who have been accepted into a CRNA program get less than an A in your organic chemistry class?

Thanks in advance for any response!

That will take a long time! By the time you are done, you will be pre-med. Good luck!!

A "B" in organic chemistry is nothing to scoff at. Just the fact that you took it will be considered when you apply. If you can retain some of the info and relate it to anesthesia during your interview, you'll probably get in for sure. I felt it was well worth it to take orgo 1&2 and biochem before starting anesthesia school. It helps when you're trying to think of the pharmacology if lipid vs water soluble medications and the different compartment models.
