Will Med Schools not accept Summer Courses?

“Taking a summer class is less ideal” is an old time “CC wisdom” that was dated back to BRM/BDM days.

I do not want to argue about this one way or another here. But it appears to me that there is a tendency that there are more students who attend very top colleges (ivies, Stanford, JHU) take summer classes and it does not harm them much, if any at all. If this is true, it is as if the students from the very top colleges could be forgiven for such a small “sin” (taking summer classes) but the students from the “more average” colleges had better be more careful. This may lead us to question another long time “CC wisdom”: It does not matter which college you go to if your goal is to get into a med school (maybe even the top med school), not i-banking/consulting.

I think there are just multiple roads to the Rome!
