Does shadowing done the summer between high school and college count?

[seals44]

I'm looking at finishing undergrad in 3 years. However, this may provide difficulty when it comes to getting enough shadowing hours in addition to academics, research, and extracurriculars. So my question is this: does physician shadowing done the summer between your senior year of high school and freshman year of college "count" for adcoms? I will be a "technical sophomore" during this time, if that changes anything.

Sure....since you already graduated from high school.

Yes. And by the way, a regular academic year goes Summer, fall, spring, summer, fall, spring, etc. So Summer technically falls into your first academic college year.

And you graduated HS, so that's another reason.

Like the others said, yes. But ideally, it is always good if you can continue it.
