Question about courses and transcript..

[wall.flower]

Would I be asked why I took certain courses what weren't part of my degree, or why I changed my major on an interview. Would that at all put me at a disadvantage in the application process? Would I be asked why I repreated a certain courses? Ie, if i took a class in the summer and decided to take it during the school year as a repeat, would I be questioned of that and would it look bad?

It's definitely possible that you may be asked those questions. But don't look at this negatively. Simply prepare professional and concise answers to those questions and you will be fine. In fact it may even put you at an advantage because you may be able to impress them with some of your answers. Just be prepared!

Eve if all these things take place in the summer? I thought that most med schools don't take the summer into consideration.

You could be questioned, but I wouldn't be concerned if I were you. Lots of schools are MMI and those that have a traditional component are likely to ask you a variety of other things as well. As long as you have a rational reason why you did the things you did, then I'd try not to worry.
