Summer classes - can you suggest a university?

Members do not see this ad.

I am looking for a university with the following characteristics -

1) Resident and non-resident tuition is the same over the summer
2) Is on a semester system and not quarter system
3) Offers prerequisite courses back to back over the summer - which means you can, for instance, take Physics-I over the first half of the summer and Physics-II over the second half of the same summer. This is very important.
4) Preferably on the west coast but this is not all that critical. If needed, I can move to the east coast over the summers.
5) The school has a reasonably good reputation in the eyes of adcoms. Personally, this does not matter to me. But I heard LizzyM talk about how her own medical school hardly looks beyond the top-50 colleges, so this parameter is very critical too.

Please help with suggestions.

In my experience, DO adcoms don't fuss about where you take a few summer courses as long as it's accredited. It seems that they know where you actually get your degree from at most, let alone took a random prerequisite or two.

My suggestion is to take JC physics and ace it.

university of alaska-fairbanks. uaf.edu

They have tons of science summer courses offered.
Fairbanks is super nice in the summer- runs 70'-80's with 24 hours of sun and blue skies.

Very inexpensive to go there. Housing available on campus.

I vote you go to the school that is both closest to you and cheapest.

This is exactly what i would do.

UAF hasn't replied to me yet. 12+ days.

If I was in your position, I would go the cheapest route and take these classes at a CC.

So you've already mentioned that you can get free tuition at the Colorado School of Mines and you've been told by an adcom at a top 10 that that's a well respected school, why are you making things difficult for yourself by trying to find some random university to do your pre-reqs?
