    Summer credits

    How do adcoms view summer credits? Is it taken into account or is more emphasis placed on fall and spring? My fall and spring credit hours range from 12 to 14 max (taking 15 next semester), but I have taken at least 7 credits every summer for two summers (7 one summer and then 8 the next).
