Would taking a course in the summer kill my chances of medical school?

[SunnySuki]

I need to take one more course to graduate (0.25 credits). Would taking it in the summer on it's own kill my chances of medical school? The course I would take isn't a pre-requisite or a mandatory course, just a credit I need to fulfill to graduate.

Thanks!

no, nobody would care even if it was a pre-req or mandatory

It really shouldn't... like at all. Just do well in it and you should be fine.

Are you taking this the summer before senior year or the summer after senior year?

They'll probably be like... oh he took a summer course by itself.. cool. And then move onto the rest of your application ASAP.

No, no one will care. I took many summer classes so I could graduate early.

Can adcoms see if a summer course was 6 weeks or 10 weeks?

ex: 12 units of 3x 6-week summer courses are going to be much harder than 12 units of 3x 10-week courses taken over the normal quarter.
