I've been working for full-time, and my university doesn't provide with flexible schedules to take ochem (1 or 2, along with lab) courses.
I'm planning to take ochem-1 in this Summer, in order to be able to take ochem-2 in next fall/spring before applications in 2011. I'm allowed double-enroll to take any course and transfer them into my transcript, provided that I've informed my university beforehand and get the written authorization.
How much harm taking ochem-1 from another institution apart from my university could give to my application in doing this way? (some say it's bad since it'll definitely raise red-flags, and my advisors at school don't recommend it)
Any experiences from who did this way and did achieve or not?
P.S.: I'm planning to take the ochem-1 from a 4-year-degree-giving institution of which used to be a "junior college" until 2001, thus -unfortunately- still has its name as "College". But, now it's been giving BA and BS degrees in several different fields like Biology, Education, Nursing, Business Administration, etc. I wish it changed its name to something having "university" in it.
