Hi,

I am looking to apply into top science schools (e.g. MIT). I have spotted some science-based online courses in edX and Coursera which pique my interest and I am likely to enroll for these courses. However, I am curious about one thing: how much do colleges (esp. the top colleges) regard such tough online courses? Will doing any of these courses improve my C.V.? Will it be worth the time?

Any insights into my questions will be most appreciated!

Thanks.
