Does anyone know if being a Graduate student at large will still count?

Illinois state university has really screwed me over big time with this one. I told them my situation (Already have a bachelors and want to bump up my gpa) and so they told me to file under as a Grad student at large. Now, even though I would take undergrad level coursework, would it not count towards my post bac?

I am wanting to retake some upper level chemistry courses and maybe take molecular and cell biology(all undergrad courses). Will this count towards my post bac?

Sorry mods, wrong forum. Please Delete!
 
The answer to your question is yes the undergrad courses still count toward your cumulative GPA (under the post-bacc portion). Under the condition that your undergrad courses are not used toward your graduate degree.

For example, if you are in a biology masters and you are doing chemistry 300 to 400 level courses, then it will still count toward your undergrad GPA. The instructions on this are on the 2012 AMCAS (read carefully).
