Northwestern University (2025-2026)

[distant walrus]

there was like 2 other transfers for my major to NU

[blissful glen]

https://tenor.com/view/freddie-mercury-another-one-bites-gif-15132770

[distant walrus]

1 of them dropped the major within 3 weeks

and switched to bio

[chrome tusk]

I'm so nervous

[distant walrus]

the other person like was a chemistry olympiad gold or something

[flat scaffold]

the stress is actually eating me up

[distant walrus]

she's doing quite well in the major

[cerulean ferry]

._.

[ebon granite]

i now wish i applied with like an engineering major and switched to premed after a yr bc my app was better for engineering

[rough basin]

sooo is it not out

[ebon granite]

whole life boiling down to this fr

[cerulean ferry]

do a lot of people do engineering w premed

[chrome tusk]

Omg the northwestern guru is back

[ebon granite]

u can lowkey do wtv w premed

[timid kelp]

Yeah she got a 89 on thermo and took a graduate level quantum mechanics class first quarter

[chrome tusk]

Quantumleaf

[distant walrus]

engineering with pre-med is lowkey easier for gpa then the major i'm in rn

[ebon granite]

biochem?

[timid kelp]

It’s easier

[distant walrus]

fun fact @timid kelp is my twin brother

[distant walrus]

no chemistry

[blissful glen]

ok

[timid kelp]

Sup

[cerulean ferry]

that is what i was planning on doing

[ebon granite]

fuck

that’s my major

[timid kelp]

There’s no biochem major

[distant walrus]

chemistry is extremely fucked at Northwestern

[chrome tusk]

Ur our only hope wish is ouck

Luck

[timid kelp]

Nah you got this

[distant walrus]

r u pre-med?

if u r switch to neuro

if u want a chem phd nu chem is good

[timid kelp]

@ebon granite the chem major here is pretty infamous.

It’s not impossible to do well tho

[distant walrus]

i think at NU for me and quantums year i'm the only pure pre-med for chemistry major

[ebon granite]

i’m premed

[distant walrus]

everyone else wants to do a chemistry phd or md/phd

[timid kelp]

Chem major pre med

[chrome tusk]

What's the acceptance rate for humanities kids bruh

[distant walrus]

switch to neuroscience

trust me

[timid kelp]

@ebon granite let’s just put it this way. 50 percent of NU Chem majors graduate with a masters in 4 years

[ebon granite]

shi

[timid kelp]

They get their bachelors with their masters

[cerulean ferry]

they admit by school right? so i can freely switch between majors within a school

[distant walrus]

u just need to take 4 classes after all the pre-med courses to get a neuroscience major

[timid kelp]

Cause the chem curriculum is so intensive it’s super easy to get a masters as well

[last badger]

YO can ts come out alr

[distant walrus]

for chemsitry major u need around 13 more after all the pre-med requirements (if u take the wrong physics class), it's 10 if u take the engineering physics one

[chrome tusk]

Pls

[ebon granite]

oh wait

i’m majoring bio for NU

forgot

phew

[timid kelp]

I got a 60 percent

On this paper

It’s a chem class

[flat scaffold]

holy can they just release it already i can’t take this

[chrome tusk]

Me too

Will we get an email

[distant walrus]

btw guys it's super supre easy to switch majors at northwestern

[timid kelp]

This is an excerpt from my paper of 6 pages

[ebon granite]

i understood like 3 letter there

[distant walrus]

and it's super easy to change schools

[ebon granite]

du is abt it

[chrome tusk]

Why do they not have a time

[distant walrus]

u can switch to medill, weinberg, mccormick

extremely easy

[cerulean ferry]

that makes me feel better

[distant walrus]

it's just 1 form

[blissful glen]

how easy we talkin

o

bet

[cerulean ferry]

i applied under environmental engineering but lowk not my intended major

[distant walrus]

like i haven't heard a single person's form get rejected

[flat scaffold]

cus they are trying to mysterious or something idk

[wide lily]

i think i've seen some stuff like this somewhere before

[timid kelp]

Fill out a form level easy

[distant walrus]

someone put like i want to do medill cause it's cool

cause he didn't want to switch to medill

but his parents made him

and he got approved to switch

[timid kelp]

It’s dimensional analysis

[ebon granite]

hey guys we talking abt switching majors but 2 out of 3 of us are statistically not getting in

[timid kelp]

Nothing too crazy

[chrome tusk]

Nonchalant ahh

[timid kelp]

100 percent switch

[cerulean ferry]

we dont talk about that

[timid kelp]

Unless if you wanna switch into Bienan

[ebon granite]

from bio?

[blissful glen]

im gonna be part of the 2 out of 3 💀

[timid kelp]

No like people who request to switch majors or undergrad colleges

[ebon granite]

me and u

[timid kelp]

Are able to switch 100 percent of the time

Excluding Bienan

[wide lily]

there's a chance we all get in

trust

[distant walrus]

i got a 60% for this thermo paper

for chemistry

trust me u dont' want to do chem

[ebon granite]

yeah bro 😭 life IS sunshine and rainbows

[distant walrus]

if ur pre-med

[timid kelp]

Me too

[distant walrus]

i derived that equation literally from the first law of thermo

[wide lily]

sunshine and rainbows until proven otherwise

[ebon granite]

yk ur cooked when u see calc typa shi in chem

[distant walrus]

p-chem is basically all multivarable calculus

[cerulean ferry]

my worry right now is getting accepted first

[distant walrus]

and diff eq

[ebon granite]

pv=nRT 🔥

[cerulean ferry]

the rest of the worrying is for future me

[blissful glen]

delta g is my homie

[ebon granite]

yk what i’m a calc typa guy

[blissful glen]

gibbs free energy

[ebon granite]

math lowkey pretty strong for me

[timid kelp]

That equation is almost never useful

[timid kelp]

That stuff is so chopped omg

[blissful glen]

ill make it useful

[chrome tusk]

What subject do most peoples profiles center around

[timid kelp]

Nah it’s not useful cause it’s only in ideal cases which is almost never

[ebon granite]

shi it’s in that paper. i don’t see no Van der Waals

[blissful glen]

ill make it an ideal case

[wild berry]

hi im here because my friend applied, what time do decisions release usually

[timid kelp]

😭😭😭that’s cause it’s an imperfect approximation

[ebon granite]

4/5 cst

[distant walrus]

this is the first 3 weeks of p-chem 1

[timid kelp]

Gibbs free energy lowkey is so chopped tho

[distant walrus]

it gets harder from this

[blissful glen]

tf

[cerulean ferry]

this is edging me

[wild berry]

ok, thanks

[ebon granite]

can never be perfect you can only try

[timid kelp]

It’s all partial derivative equations

[wild berry]

they dont publish a time?

[cerulean ferry]

nope

[wild berry]

skull

[timid kelp]

Usually check at around 4 or 5

[ebon granite]

now i get it

[wild berry]

last year RD was like 4 i remember

because my ass got waitlisted

[wide lily]

im so nervous bruh

[timid kelp]

Glad to see I can help

[distant walrus]

u have to be also able to read these

[ebon granite]

yeahhh so like partial fractions right guys

[timid kelp]

Gibbs

[wide lily]

im actually so anxious

[timid kelp]

Partial derivative

[distant walrus]

switch to neuro at NU if u get in

trust me

if ur pre-med

[ebon granite]

yeahh potato potato

[distant walrus]

do not do chemistry

[ebon granite]

i’m bio

[wide lily]

is this just a hella evil phase diagram or what

[timid kelp]

Lowkey neuro pre med is so good

[ebon granite]

for NU

[cerulean ferry]

i feel so cold

[distant walrus]

our department literally wants to weed people out

[timid kelp]

Neuro is easier

Trust

You just need 4 classes for the neuro major

[distant walrus]

the chair of our undergrad department went up to a senior and said how the fuck r u still a chemistry major

[timid kelp]

And 2 of them are take home exams

[ebon granite]

ye the open slots for Neuro was lower tho for application

[distant walrus]

i thought u would've switched to bio or neuro already

[distant walrus]

u can declare any major u want after u get in

[timid kelp]

You can declare any major after getting in

[distant walrus]

and u can basically switch to any school u want after u get in minus the music school

[timid kelp]

It doesn’t matter what you put for ur major at Weinberg

[cerulean ferry]

is biomed a big thing

[timid kelp]

U come in as undeclared every time

[ebon granite]

fuck it i’m gonna be a pro oboist

[wild berry]

damnn lucky

im at berkeley and switching to like cs/engineering = good luck lol

[distant walrus]

at NU u can switch from journalism or arts to cs/engineering if u wanted to

without any difficutly

[wild berry]

wtffff

[timid kelp]

BME is pretty good here

[wild berry]

do people do things like that a lot

[distant walrus]

yes

[wild berry]

like oh i have a strong app for like math so you do that then switch to cs

[distant walrus]

someone got into NU film program and switched to engineering

first quarter

[wild berry]

lmao

[distant walrus]

with no background in engineering

[last badger]

Is it out yet

[wild berry]

oh u guys r quarter?

[distant walrus]

yes

[ebon granite]

nah

[distant walrus]

i love the quarter system

[wild berry]

are you on break

[distant walrus]

yes

we just finished last friday

NU is actually incredible for how fast they release grades

[cerulean ferry]

no

[distant walrus]

the last final exam was like friday and we got our grades back monday

[ebon granite]

could be faster in releasing results

[distant walrus]

in 3 days

[ebon granite]

like could have got them this morning

[wide lily]

goat

[wild berry]

when do you go back

[wild berry]

wtffff

[cerulean ferry]

bro i just wish the told me a time so i dont have to refresh my email every 5 minutes

[distant walrus]

i think he screwed up his sibling cause the admissions officer asked his sibling what major r u actually applying for

[ebon granite]

jan 1 prediction

[distant walrus]

first week of jan

[distant walrus]

likely in 2 hours

[wild berry]

ya i feel bad for our tas i just took intro data sci final and there are 1500 exams for there to grade

[chrome tusk]

Wait just wait until 4 ok

[ebon granite]

1 let’s be hopeful

[wild berry]

holy fuck what

[timid kelp]

Jan 6 or Jan 5

[wild berry]

we are dec19-jan22

lol

[distant walrus]

damn

wait nvm it's second week of jan

i thought it was first week

[timid kelp]

@ebon granite do u know NUPSP

[ebon granite]

not much

[wild berry]

how long is spring

[ebon granite]

ts a problem for another day 😭

[timid kelp]

It’s the NU early assurance program for feinberg

[distant walrus]

@timid kelp that program is lowkey a scam cause every freshmen wants to do it and u see their reddit post next quarter and it's the usual i failed chemistry gen chem what do i do

[timid kelp]

True

[wide lily]

nothing matters for now except my decisions

[ebon granite]

ye i know like the premise of it

[wide lily]

i've been stress eating tangerines i think ive already had like 6

[ebon granite]

r u in it?

[distant walrus]

i saw like a lot of freshmen write how hard is it to get 3.9-4.0 gpa and then within a couple weeks it's i failed gen chem what do i do, or i got a 50% in gen chem 1 midterm what do i do

[timid kelp]

The application process is so hard

[distant walrus]

or the i got put in academic probation cause i failed gen chem

😭

[timid kelp]

I’m applying rn. I qualified to apply

[ebon granite]

oh shi no MCAt for u

[distant walrus]

pre-meds basically only gets weeded out by chemistry

atp

[timid kelp]

Nah I gotta get in

[ebon granite]

we are getting in fr

[timid kelp]

I’m not getting in

[ebon granite]

or getting in to college

[timid kelp]

It’s so hard

[timid kelp]

I might’ve cooked myself by choosing MSTP for NuPSP

They take 0-1 students each year

For the program

[distant walrus]

NU chemistry weeds out pre-meds like there's no tomorrow

it's also why we have so little chemistry majors, cause our department is so weedout

it gets harder and harder

[ebon granite]

can’t get weeded out if i’m not accepted 🔥

[distant walrus]

it doesn't even get easier

[covert spindle]

Why is NU chemistry so hard

[covert spindle]

What

[silver sluice]

nu comes out tdy right

[distant walrus]

our department wants only the best chemistry majors

[timid kelp]

It’s not even hard. I think it’s fine

[ebon granite]

2.3 hrs

1.3

[distant walrus]

our department said they don't want the bad students to dilute the good ones

😭

[silver sluice]

shittt aight

good luck to all those that applied

one of my friends ap[plied

[distant walrus]

our chair literally went up to a senior and said how the fuck r u still a chemistry major i thought we weeded u out

[ebon granite]

i heard that

[timid kelp]

That was lowkey crazy

[ebon granite]

from the chair

[distant walrus]

but our undergrad chair for chemistry told @timid kelp like if u have a 3.5+ gpa in NU chem to only apply to t20 phd chem programs

[ebon granite]

shi that might be a personal insult

[distant walrus]

otherwise it's a waste of a NU chem degree

[timid kelp]

Yeah he did tell me that

[distant walrus]

so basically our department only wants the best students to represent NU chem

[ebon granite]

our dept

[distant walrus]

cause like NU chem is like one of the best departments

[timid kelp]

Lowkey don’t slander NU Chem

[distant walrus]

it's like ranked 6th for us chemistry

[timid kelp]

I like my department

[distant walrus]

our as in @timid kelp and i's

[ebon granite]

and me

OUR

[distant walrus]

don't be a chem major

[ebon granite]

i’m not

[distant walrus]

the orgo sequence

and the gen chem sequence

[ebon granite]

shi i love orgo

[distant walrus]

will be the hardest courses u'll prolly take

[timid kelp]

@ebon granite I’m also a bio and neuro major

[distant walrus]

as a pre-med

at Northwestern

[timid kelp]

High school orgo is completely different from college orgo

[distant walrus]

college orgo is so much more fun

[timid kelp]

Yeah high school orgo was so boring

You just memorize then

[distant walrus]

exactly it wasn't any thinking

it was so boring

[ebon granite]

main thing i’ve learned is Oh loves hitting it from the back

[distant walrus]

sn2?

there's 4 types of generic reactions, sn2, sn1, e2, e1

[timid kelp]

It’s SN2

[distant walrus]

but then there's 40 other types of reactions u need to memorize

that's like unique

[covert spindle]

Get trauma from UNSCO flowing back rn

[timid kelp]

There’s more in orgo3

[distant walrus]

but it makes sense after u realize it

and think about it logically

[timid kelp]

The worst reactions I know of are the concerted rxns

[ebon granite]

we only need like 6-7 for IB or sm

[distant walrus]

organic chemistry was so much easier than inorganic and p-chem

[wide lily]

i love sharpless epoxidation it soudns so cool

[timid kelp]

Yeah IB chem unfortunately doesn’t prepare u for college orgo

[distant walrus]

inorganic and p-chem makes me want to die

[distant walrus]

yeah

[distant walrus]

lol real

[wide lily]

deadass chemists just started making up words what is a conrotatory ring opening ☹️

[distant walrus]

ngl i still haven't recovered from my inorganic final exam

the prof went crazy

[ebon granite]

well my teachers done w the IB curriculum and he said next semester he’s gonna “prepare us for college”

[distant walrus]

instead of the easy diatomic MO diagrams u see in gen chem u get to draw the MO diagram of Fe(CN)5

[wide lily]

oh fun!!

[distant walrus]

based on symmetry!

[distant walrus]

and group theory

[timid kelp]

This is my favorite rxn

[timid kelp]

The stereo chem sucks

[ebon granite]

wait it’s a pentagon

[wide lily]

whar is this

[ebon granite]

fr

[wide lily]

polymerization?

[distant walrus]

organic chemistry

[wide lily]

no i got that

[ebon granite]

like idek abt stereo but

[timid kelp]

Ring opening polymerization

I forgot exact name

[wide lily]

awful!

[timid kelp]

It’s so cool

Inorganic is even better

[wide lily]

this is why i refuse to major in chem

[timid kelp]

You learn how to calculate number of peaks in IR by giving you the molecule

Like you can say Benzene and I’ll give you number of peaks

[covert spindle]

Bruh I’m a chemistry major

[wide lily]

refused to major in math for a similar reason because comp math ruined it for me

[timid kelp]

In IR

[keen birch]

Oh wait Northwestern is coming out?

[timid kelp]

With group theory

[covert spindle]

RN?,

[timid kelp]

Same

[covert spindle]

am I fucked (hs senior)

[keen birch]

I meant today

[wide lily]

isn't that nmr

or am i mixing them up

[keen birch]

Sorry I forgot my question mark lol

[timid kelp]

There’s so much you can do with group theory. You can also hand draw NMR

[timid kelp]

Nah IR is based on functional groups

[distant walrus]

i love drawing MO diagrams in inorganic chemistry where it's not the fake MO diatomic MO diagrams u see in gen chem but based on group symmetry

[wide lily]

ir is wavenumber identifies grouspr ight

[distant walrus]

doesn't this look fun

[timid kelp]

Gives you functional group

NMR is very generic

Since there’s many NMRs

[distant walrus]

ofc u also have to draw out what each interaction looks like

[wide lily]

oh no that looks enthralling for sure!

[timid kelp]

There’s HNMR, CNMR, and 2D NMR

COSEY, HSQC, HMBC, and NoESY

[wide lily]

yeah ive only ever worked with 1h nmr

but im aware of the carbon one

i have no idea what noesy is LMAO let me google that

[distant walrus]

inorganic chemistry actually made me want to die

[safe sapphire]

is this ligand field theory MO 🥺

or something diff

[distant walrus]

it's MO diagram based on group symmetry

[timid kelp]

NMR all works with same principle: A pulse of radio waves knocks these nuclei out of alignment, and as they relax back, they emit radio signals at specific frequencies depending on their unique chemical environment (neighboring atoms, electron density). Detecting these emitted signals and their frequencies reveals the molecule's structure, showing how atoms are connected through effects like chemical shift and spin-spin coupling (splitting of peaks).

[distant walrus]

aka the real MO diagrams

[wide lily]

wow! noesy makes no sense

i have lots to learn...

[distant walrus]

ligand field theory MO would be the transition metals ones but u also need to use group symmetry for those too

[timid kelp]

It’s through space interactions

[safe sapphire]

I have my synthesis final tmrw I'm ready to be done with ochem

inorgo sounds like butt tho

[distant walrus]

don't worry u won't ever need to do this

unless ur a chemistry major

[safe sapphire]

like it seems so unintuitive

i am a chem major

[distant walrus]

oh

[safe sapphire]

awesome!!!

[wide lily]

gg

[distant walrus]

ur gonna have so much fun in 300 level inorganic chemistry

i lowkey was tweaking out

in the class

the final exam for inorganic went CRAZY

[wide lily]

can they lowkey just release decisions already im so stressed

ive had 7 tangerines while waiting now

[blissful glen]

Thank gosh I won’t need to take orgo

[distant walrus]

the prof put everything u thought was going to show up in the final exam but just dialed up to 11/10 difficulty

to the point where a lot of people said they didn't even finish the exam

🥳

[restive elbow]

hi

[safe sapphire]

bro why does NU just hate their chem students

evil evil evil

[restive elbow]

i’ve been checking all day i’m so xxared

[blissful glen]

How are you feeling

[restive elbow]

scared

[distant walrus]

we just want the best undergrads

[timid kelp]

Good luck. I love synthesis

[restive elbow]

terrified out my mind

[distant walrus]

NU chemistry i think believes the average NU student is bad academically

[timid kelp]

Are you also NU Chem @safe sapphire

[distant walrus]

and only wants the good students

[safe sapphire]

yes but I wanna apply ISP ngl

I just don't know if I will have time for a life

[distant walrus]

ISP is even worse than chemistry

[fiery forum]

playing genshin while i wait for nu to break my heart

[timid kelp]

U go to NU?

Like rn

[safe sapphire]

no I'm applying

[timid kelp]

Oh ic

ISP is chopped

[distant walrus]

don't be an ISP major unless u want to go to phd

[timid kelp]

What do you wanna do after graduation

Lowkey I wish I did ISP

[distant walrus]

if u want to do a phd in chemistry

[covert spindle]

What the fuck is ISP

[distant walrus]

do a chemistry undergrad

it gets u places

[timid kelp]

I should’ve done ISP instead of chem

[safe sapphire]

lowkey theory and research so it's a good fit for me

[distant walrus]

if u want to do med school

pls do not be a chem or an isp major

[timid kelp]

Our best program imo

[covert spindle]

isp???

[timid kelp]

Yes

[covert spindle]

idk the acronym

[distant walrus]

the hardest program at Northwestern

[chrome tusk]

I'm so scared

[safe sapphire]

integrated science

[covert spindle]

Ah

[timid kelp]

ISP is the best program at NU

[covert spindle]

Cool

[timid kelp]

That and MMSS

[covert spindle]

Maybe I’ll get in

[distant walrus]

for difficulties of programs it goes ISP>MENU>Chem=physics>math>the rest

[chrome tusk]

I did my best but I'm still scared

[timid kelp]

You have to apply for ISP

[distant walrus]

ISP is hell

[covert spindle]

Aw

[timid kelp]

After ur admitted to NU

[covert spindle]

Whatever

oh

[distant walrus]

it's nearly guaranteed

[chrome tusk]

There's nothing I could've done more..

[covert spindle]

Maybe I’d have a vhsnce

[safe sapphire]

be proud of your achievements!!!

[distant walrus]

if u apply for isp u'll get in

after u get into NU

[covert spindle]

Hey dude. Good luck.

[distant walrus]

the only issue is i don't recommend ISP

[safe sapphire]

if you maxed out that means you are the best version of yourself

[covert spindle]

What major ? Indigo??

[timid kelp]

Nah they give people ISP applications if you take a lot of AP

[timid kelp]

Not true. They recommend people to apply

[cerulean ferry]

how many is a lot

[timid kelp]

It’s usually by amount of APs you take

[cerulean ferry]

i have a decent amount

[timid kelp]

My ISP friend had 21 AP

[covert spindle]

no way ur in here

2 people from my school

man

[safe sapphire]

do you think a 4 on Mechanics is a bad look for ISP

like how cracked are they

[wide lily]

im actually so stressed man

[timid kelp]

How many APs do u have

[distant walrus]

this is the average ISP schedule

[cerulean ferry]

bro can they just release already

[safe sapphire]

15 and then orgo and multi

[rough basin]

do we think 30 more min

[sand stone]

what'd you get on em

[safe sapphire]

like my chem and math is good but my phys is chopped icl

[timid kelp]

My ISP friend had 5 on all 21 APs including, Calc BC, chem, bio, Physics mechanics, physics E and M, and a lot more

[wide lily]

maybe if i pretend not to want the decision and act nonchalant they'll let me in

[safe sapphire]

they don't offer sadly

[timid kelp]

Orgo at duel enrollment

[cerulean ferry]

that is ridiculous

[safe sapphire]

holy crap

[safe sapphire]

yeah

[covert spindle]

The actual fuck

[distant walrus]

ISP students are so fucking good at academics

[timid kelp]

He also dropped ISP

[sand stone]

how does he have enough room for 21 aps 💀

[timid kelp]

Cause he said ISP for pre med isn’t useful

His GPa with ISP was also like a 4.0

[distant walrus]

it's too hard for pre-med

[timid kelp]

He’s cracked af

[distant walrus]

ur time is better spent on other times

[wide lily]

hopefully me if i lock in this year

[timid kelp]

No he had a 4.0 with ISP and intensive orgo sequence

[sand stone]

wait lowkey like ap exams do not correlate over to being a good student or good at acaemics

[distant walrus]

yeah but instead of studying u can be doing research and volunteering

[covert spindle]

100%

[sand stone]

i have all 5s and i'd consider myself a terrible student my grades are ass

[distant walrus]

it's a waste of time for ISP

[timid kelp]

I mean if you do like 21 APs and get a 5 on all

It’s a good sign

[distant walrus]

it really doesn't correlate with a student being good or not

i know someone with a 43 IB score that has a 3.1 gpa chem major

[timid kelp]

He’s cracked

[sand stone]

i'm finishing up like 16 or 17 this year lol

[distant walrus]

at NU

[sand stone]

yeah exactly

[timid kelp]

CC or uni?

[distant walrus]

but it makes sense as IB is so easy

that it doesn't even prepare u for college

[safe sapphire]

uni

[timid kelp]

My friend who duel enrolled orgo didn’t get his credit transferred

[wide lily]

six sevennn

[timid kelp]

At his local uni

[cerulean ferry]

does nu accept 4's on aps

[distant walrus]

NU chem doesn't transfer over organic chemistry credit

[safe sapphire]

yeah I'm only gonna get general credit

[timid kelp]

He’s also ISP, Engineering double major

[safe sapphire]

which is sad

[timid kelp]

[distant walrus]

[timid kelp]

You don’t need that much

Bro we lowkey over prepared

[distant walrus]

people before the final exam for inorganic

like multiple people told me

they studied 20 hours for the final in the last 2 days

and studied for 2 weeks to prepare for the test

[timid kelp]

WHAT

[distant walrus]

😭

[distant walrus]

[timid kelp]

When I took it, inorganic was a joke class

[blissful glen]

https://tenor.com/view/go-ahead-john-walker-us-agent-thunderbolts-by-all-means-gif-7226848747133127914

[distant walrus]

yeah lowkey we did too much

[balmy tangle]

yes 🙏

[distant walrus]

for inorganic i didn't study that much

i studied like 4-5 hours a day for a week

then took the final exam

[timid kelp]

Didn’t someone who did this say he didn’t even get a 50

[distant walrus]

yeah someone did that and said they prolly got below a 50%

in the final exam

[timid kelp]

Dang ig it was rlly hard

[distant walrus]

they were like i studied so much i'm ready

and then after they're like prof the exam was fair as in everything we expected to be on the test was on the test but u just made it impossible level

[timid kelp]

@safe sapphire maybe Nu chem isn’t as easy as I thought

These stories are lowkey horrible
