Open Admissions Summer Courses

<p>I'm currently a freshman at a not-so-impressive state university. I'm planning on transferring my Junior year (well, attempting to anyway) and I'm trying to do all I can to raise my chances. </p>

<p>I'm going to be applying as an economics major, and the summer courses at NU have open admissions, so I was intending on taking a couple classes this summer while working. I'm unsure of the quality of these courses, and how positively they may reflect on my application.</p>

<p>I'm seeking outside opinions on this matter because the classes are quite expensive, and I'm unsure if it's really worth it.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t do it if I were you. Unless you are very bright, it will be difficult to compete against NU students if you are working at the same time. It’s expensive and risky.</p>
