are summer classes looked down upon by dental schools? also, summer sections only run for 7 weeks during the summer in 2 sections, so u could actually take a sequence of a course (bio I+II, chem I+II) in a summer. Will colleges accept summer courses. Also how many semester hours do u think i should take each 7 week section during the summmer? 15 seems like a lot for accelerated classes.

I don't think dental schools look down on summer classes as long as the credit hours are the same. It is accelerated, so 1-2 classes for each section is plenty, especially if it includes lab!

usually... summer classes are much longer, therefore a bio class with lab would probably take up most of the day and you wouldn't be able to take chem so its either or

well my plan so far is going to be 8 credits each section, so 16 credits the entire summer. Genetics/University Social Science Course then Psychology/University Humanities Course
