I think the summer school immersion experience of physics MIGHT actually be a good way to do it, I dunno.
I took summer school Physics. Trig based Physics I & II taught in 10 weeks. The class met 5 days a week from 9am-noon with two afternoon lab sessions a week. An exam a week.
For some reason, it “clicked” for me and I walked away with two As. However, on the first day of Physics I there were 39 students sitting in class. The vast majority were self described pre-med and biology majors. By the end of the last day of class, there were maybe a dozen of us left standing.
A friend of mine who took the course with me (he got an A & a B), completed his application cycle a year ahead of me, and has just finished his M1 year said that “summer school Physics was harder than medical school.”
It’s doable, just don’t plan on having any kind of a life while you do it.
