Hello, I took a few classes out of interest at a different university from the one I graduated from one summer about 5 years ago. I took these science classes just for the sake of learning and not toward my major (I was not pre med at the time) and I completely forgot about them until now. Do I have to report them? They would lower my science GPA and probably overall GPA. I did not receive financial aid for this. I do not want to lie by omission, but this would REALLY hurt my chances for this year.

Also I took these classes because my mom was a professor there and that allowed me to take classes for free.
 
You have to report all the classes you took, including these.

As you provide a SSN or SIN, schools can easily look up other colleges/universities where you attended and took classes (even online). If you don't report you face the risk of having your application thrown out altogether.
