Summer Courses to take higher level courses?

OK, so I've heard everyone say that taking medical school prerequisites during the summer at a CC or another institution is looked down upon, but do you think adcoms would mind me taking something like organic chem II in the summer at my home towns local college (not a community college, it's a 4 year institution) so that I could take biochem I and II the following year? Also, do you think they'd look down upon taking Genetics in summer school if I meet my bio requirements at my main school (genetics is super hard in my school and I'm mainly taking it to be prepared for the MCAT anyways).

Taking courses at another university over the summer is fine.

Thanks for the reply. I was just concerned because some people were saying that adcoms don't like summer courses because they're accelerated.

I happen to go to a school where a lot of students from elsewhere take summer classes here. So yeah it's fine as long as your school will accept that credit.

And med school courses are even more accelerated. 😛
