Hello,

I am looking to take an online nutrition course to fulfill the requirements for Oklahoma State. I was thinking about taking the OK state online course, but before I make a large financial investment into an online course, I was hoping to hear your opinions and experiences with these courses. I hear great things about Purdue, but at 1400 dollars, it's a little out of my price range...

On a similar note, how heavy are these classes? I was hoping to take and finish this course before I send in my applications. That gives me from mid-June to about September. Is this do-able? I would be filling in my applications and doing 40 hours a week of independent research during the summer, but I feel that if I can complete the course and add it to my GPA it could strengthen my application. Currently, I am around 3.1, and with a continued strong performance this quarter and next, I should stand at 3.25. I am hoping the course can push me to a 3.3. Probably not much of a difference, but it might help. Your opinions are all really appreciated!
