My University offers Linear Algebra in summer

The catch is it’s 26 days course with 4 days a weak, 2 hours and a half a day

I am good in math, I am taking good grades so far and I am gonna major in Math

But I wanna go to med school or law school later

so

First question: Can I get an A in this short of time?
I tried to take calculus 1 in summer last year, but it was 8 weeks, the professor was known to be really tough but I got an A in the end.
my way of studying is I go over homework problems and I try to study each other day or sometimes day by day…Like I said I love math, but my only concern is the short amount of time!

I heard Linear algebra is more conceptual than math! They said it’s tougher than other courses, I don’t know what do you think?

Secondly, is is gonna look bad when I apply to med or law school?

I am really upset because my university offer such a class in 3 weeks?
seriously?

PS: the review on this professor is good, she is not that easy, but most of the reviews were positive

It sounds like six and a half weeks:
26/4 = 6.5

Probably doable but tough.

I took linear algebra in a summer half-semester, so on a pretty similar timeline to you. I found linear algebra to be definitely one of the easier math courses I’ve taken in college and thought it was totally reasonable on that time course. Just make sure you keep up with the homework every day or things will start to build up.
