Taking too many Pre-Reqs over the Summer?

[DarkKnight835]

Hello everyone,

I have a question for all the upperclassmen/ADCOMS that are on here regarding taking too many pre-reqs classes over the Summer. I am a current rising second semester sophomore at a local 4 year university. The first Summer between Freshman and Sophomore year, I had to take Gen Chem 2 and Gen Chem 2 Lab due to not wanting to be left behind. Now looking at my current schedule, I have a schedule conflict that would not really allow me to take my Orgo 2 lab during this coming semester, and I would have to probably take it over this coming Summer between my Sophomore and Junior year. Would that be okay and not looked down upon?

For some background: I took Gen Chem 2 and Gen Chem 2 lab over the Summer and got A's in both. I took Orgo 1 last semester and got a B, I also took Orgo 1 Lab last semester and got an A. I am going to take Orgo 2 this coming semester, but not Orgo 2 lab.

Thank you so much, I appreciate any feedback!

Pretty sure you're fine. If anyone asks (which I don't think they will) you can mention scheduling conflicts.

No one will care as long as you do well.

Thank you so much for your wisdom, HomeSkool! So just to clarify, medical school would not worry that I would be taking too many core prereqs, all 3 of which are chem stuffs, over the Summer? The classes I had taken and will take over the Summer are all at the same university as I attend now in my normal semesters.

Adcoms see your grades by academic year. They can break it down by semester/term if they need to, but as long as you do well they won't bother.

It doesn’t matter. Your grades matter.
