I need a little reassurance and some advice, ADHDer here.
I'm a current second year premed, but I'm very math/physics/orgo brained. I can intuit pretty damn well on physics, orgo, and math exams, but if you give me a list to memorize, you'll be highly disappointed.
My orgo 2 prof sat down with me when I was struggling to memorize all of the reduction/oxidation reagants (did not do super hot on that orgo exam which was just a whole ass battery of memorizing reagants that did oxidation etc., but I had enough buffer from the logical exams that I have a 96 right now.). She says biochem is a lot of memorization, so I might struggle quite a bit.
For the other orgo exams where memorizing is not only not needed but discouraged, I can literally see the dipoles and see how the attack occurs even if I've literally never seen the mechanism before. It's hard to describe exactly what occurs in my brain, but I can literally use principles I learned earlier and extrapolate new rules from it to solve a problem.
I'm horrified.
I'm so nervous that all I'm carrying into the firefight that is med school is just some pretty high-end reasoning skills that honestly came pretty naturally to me.
What do I do?
