You are taking the most prominent sequence of chemistry during the summer at a different school than your home school? It can have the appearance to an adcom of looking for a less rigorous way because you perhaps cant handle it at your own school.

That being said, you need to stay completely on top of it in the summer as you have no buffer time. Having done it myself in the summer, I found it took two full days of study to feel confident on a chapter and we did 4 chapters a week; notice the discrepancy there. We had 3 exams and a comprehensive final in 5 weeks. There are several guides that people recommend here, I believe Kleins is one. I used Weeks "Guide to Electron Movement" which is likely way out of print. Also Kahn academy.

It is a very long and atypical story for both times (when I was 20 and when I was 40) as I was never a desperate premed nor a typical student. I was accepted both times via recruitment before every applying but decided to work in Healthcare Policy and Analysis, and as someone once said I started at the top then worked my way down. When I write my memoirs, you will know the whole story. I got two books ahead of that to finish first
