Taking multiple prerequisites in the summer

Edit: I asked a stupid question so I changed it.

What should I do if I have taken multiple prerequisites (Chem I&II and Phys I&II) in the summer? Will taking upper-level courses in these subjects,
Acing MCAT and thoughtfully addressing this in my app be enough to quell any doubt?

what's wrong with taking summer courses lol? I don't think the majority of people will look or care.

Medical schools look at the perceived rigor of courses. Summer courses, with their compressed time frame, are perceived as less rigorous. Taking summer courses at a place other than your home institution or, worse, a community college, can been seen as trying to an easier path

Wouldn't a stellar GPA/good MCAT score make this a non-issue? I never took summer course but figured it wasn't a big deal unless in conglomeration with other red flags

I find summer classes harder!! Like seriously you have to cram so much info, you have class every single day, and there’s less time to cushion a bad score.
