Should I include MOOC in application?

I am aspiring programming and to demonstrate my interest in programming, I have taken a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) titled “Programming for Everybody” by University of Michigan.

I would be apply to University of Michigan, among several other universities.

Should I:
A. ADD the certificate to my common application, WITH University of Michigan’s name
(My concern with this: the admission officer at other universities will assume the University of Michigan is my top choice
- which is true, and might reject me as they might think I will lower their enrolment yield rate)

B. ADD the certificate to my common application, WITHOUT University of Michigan’s name
(My concern with this: it makes the MOOC that I took sound a bit uncredible / sounds like I’m bullshitting?)

C. Do NOT add the certificate to my common application at all. I should only include it in my supplementary essays to University of Michigan.
(My concern with this: minus one demonstrated way for my interest in programming for other universities)

Appreciate any help, thanks! :slight_smile:

*applying

I don’t think universities will reject you if you mention UMichigan: I know kids who got into Harvard while mentioning their participation in the Yale Global Scholars although these two unis are competing with each other. So don’t worry and choose option A, it will be helpful for all the schools.
