Reduced course load?
I was wondering what the negatives of a reduced course load is. If I take a course in the summer and only 4 courses first term, what are the downsides? Do med, PT, grad schools care? And I've heard that the mark isn't calculated in your GPA for some schools?

Some schools care, and some schools won't include the summer school mark in your GPA.

It depends where you want to go. You should look into the requirements of specific schools/programs that you're interested in.
