Summer post-HS graduation

<p>Hi everyone,
Do you know if the summer before starting freshman year in college counts for med school applications? I know that this is quite soon to think about this, but I do have a special case where I am considering pursuing a nursing major (which obviously will make my schedule tight along with pre-med courses-- i will probably have to take summer courses), so I feel that if I can get any volunteer/internship experience sooner, the better. Thanks. </p>
