lol. Yeah. Verbatim. That’s what happened .



Well, lets see:

What I said in post# 10:

Biochem is the one course they explicitly say is OK to take online because it doesn’t have to be taken with a lab.



What Mayo said:

Biochemistry is the only prerequisite that may be completed online due to the lack of a laboratory requirement.



Unless you are into splitting-hair business, that’s as close to verbatim as it gets.

The joy some of us get, in taking a common sense observation and projecting that as some tremendous insight, is really astounding. I bet no one here, as much as they try to project otherwise, has any more or less insight into how ADCOMs think. I clearly said that a lot of this conjecture. I also said that according to my son’s pre-health advisor (whom I trust more than anybody here to know this stuff), as long as you don’t take too many summer courses and as long as they are taken at a good school its OK. But who has got time to read a post carefully, when there is a fantastic and insightful observation to make, right?

That, a course taken as part of a regular semester load is safer than taking the same course over summer is common sense. Its obvious that, the poster has an exigency that is making him/her explore other options.
