Does anyone know which med schools do not accept summer term's courses and their marks?

I believe Western... there's another one as well. You should do research on each school you are planning to apply to. There's more than just if they accept summer school marks you that should be concerned with.

Oh that sucks...so isnt it a good idea doing one's required courses over the summer? I thot it lessens the workload a bit? :S But again...why on earth do they have to be THIS picky?

Well, if they don't offer your required course during summer you are pretty much screwed over. Chances are the course is a prerequisite for upper year courses.

hmm...makes sense...thanks

If someone can't manage 5 courses a term then they probably don't want those people in med school.

Exactly, I'm not sure about Medical school but for Optometry a full course load every year is recommended. I looked at the course load for optometry and it's like 5, 6, 7 and even 8 courses a term and it's only a professional school. Pretty ridiculous.
