Adcom and Multiple Schools?

I was wondering if adcoms frown upon applicants who have attended/taken classes at many different schools. For instance, here is my list.

While in High School I took PSEO courses online from a state school (University of Minnesota, Morris)
I am attending a private 4-year liberal arts college (Gustavus Adolphus College)
I have taken summer classes for two summers from another state school (Winona State University)
I took EMT certification courses, which counted toward a fitness credit (from a tech college)
I am currently taking biochemistry online (University of Minnesota, Twin Cities)

Is this long list going to get me into any trouble, besides the headache of sending out transcripts? Thanks guys.

Not at all. Where did you get that idea from?

As for me, I had 7 transcripts. I'm pretty sure that more education is considered a good thing. And considering that you spent 4 years at your primary undergrad institution, it's not like you spent every year switching to a new school. The summer classes at a state school sounds fine, as is the EMT course. Not sure about how online biochem classes are considered though. I'm guessing some schools wouldn't accept an online class to satisfy a prereq (if biochem is a prereq for that particular school).

Dang. I hope I don't run in to trouble because it's online. The prof. posted previous years/semesters exams as "practice", and I would argue that the distance learning exams are more difficult than those thus far 👎

adcom = admission committee.
