Parents take note: Many colleges use online classes as a recruiting tool. They help identify potential candidates for admission to their regular degree programs. This gives online scholars an edge when they apply. Listing these classes in the personal statement impresses admissions officers who are constantly looking for innovative applicants. It shows you are ahead of the curve of other applicants and might just be the item that tips the admissions committee in your favor.
