AEM Transfer

I am currently an applicant for spring 2013 in the AEM major.

I have already submitted all the required materials and they were all received.

I have constantly read that the recommended courses are a huge plus. I have completed all the prerequisites, and I am currently taking an intro bio class for business majors which I guess will equal one bio class at CALS.

My question: I am currently taking 5 classes in the regular 17 week session. Should I sign up to take a physics course? I can still sign up for a later session which means that I can still obtain the normal 3 credits but in a shorter term. Btw this would still be semester hours.

Furthermore, if I were to sign up for this course, it would begin October 22. Therefore it would be to late in the month to receive a midterm grade. Basically would it be beneficial to take the course if the admissions office won't receive a grade? Would it make me look more competitive? Or would they think I'm trying to hard to look good that it won't make a difference?

I know I wrote a lot but if anyone who has been accepted in the past can shed some light in my situation that would be appreciated.

Why would it look bad that you're enrolled in those classes? From the calls I have made it seems as though they want you to get those out of the way in order to focus on AEM-specific courses when you arrive. This would imply, if they like your grades already, they would be more interested in you just receiving the credits.
