After taking AP Chemistry, I'm considering a double major

>>8435058
First two years for the standard track are general "inorganic", and then organic. With maybe an analytical course thrown in.

If you are still taking, or passed AP chem, essentially the first year will be a repeat of this. It will be EZ mode, as it should be.

Organic is very different. The lecture exams are extremely abstract, involving only theory, no math in my experience. The labs are meh cuz its hard to get accurate results in micro experimentation with shitty equipment. Overall not bad if you're not a brainlet.
Then, they remove the curtain. It turns out, all the foundational concepts you were taught in gen Chen were a fucking lie. It's all fucking lies. Your degree is really just a physics degree where people just like to do stuff macroscopically, with the occasional journey into biology.

Chenical Energetics and dynamics, aka thermo dynamics and quantum physics are not kys tier, but it will be a rude awakening if you haven't been paying attention in class.

Last year is generally biochem and physics Chen part 2. At this point they'll have you take analytical, which basically show you how to do experiments or produce results with accuracy, and show you why its hard to do.

After that, its off to grad school wishing you had done a chemical engineering or physics undergrad. Or you manage to squeeze in somewhere at a lab cuz you somehow made it through without acquiring autism and disregarding basic networking

A chemistry major is:

>Year 1:
Calculus 1&2
Gen Chem 1&2 + Lab <or AP Chem>
Analytical Chem

>Year 2:
Calculus 3 and Linear Algebra
Orgo 1&2 + Labs
Physics for Premeds 1&2

>Year 3:
Inorganic 1&2
Pchem 1&2 + Lab
Instrumental Analysis

>Year 4:
<fucking nothing>

The hardest part is fucking up a lab near the end and having to waste hours restarting it at the beginning.

If you want it to be less of a meme then take biology, biochem, genetics, big boys physics, statistics or jump the shark and do ChemE.

>acquiring autism
Could you elaborate?

>>8435141
What do you mean by less of a meme? Is there some sort of stigma associated with chem majors?

you're not going to find many chem majors who have taken linear algbra

Chem thread, deadly.

Can one of you guys check this mechanism for me?

It's recommended in my school that chem majors take Linear Algebra instead of Calc 3

college/career advice threads do not belong on /sci/, see the sticky

janny pls enforce

Psychology is bs. Just do EE.

Do you want us to readjust your bib too while on the subject of infantile behaviour?
