OK, sort of a three-part question here:
First, I'm interested in taking some online music courses (as music's a big hobby of mine but not something I'd like to pursue professionally). I found an accredited school where I can take courses for credit (that is, they can be transferred to other colleges). I assume that these courses would count toward AMCAS, correct?
Second, you can elect to take the courses for "internal credit" - they count toward a certificate but cannot be transferred. Would these count toward AMCAS?
Finally, would choosing to take these courses for credit be seen as a shameless attempt to boost my cumulative GPA (since the "prestige" or whatever of the online college is less than my undergrad college), or do you think it would really matter either way?
