What if you do those 16 credits to avoid paying the residency, would they count towards a GPA?
Because if that's the case you could do 16 credits on courses that you are sure your going to ace, and then your GPA would be phenomenal? Am I missing something here?

Sure, you could carefully get yourself a 4.0 GPA. For that matter, you can get a 4.0 GPA with just the cornerstone and capstone on your transcript. Anyone who really cares about your GPA, however, will look at your transcript and know exactly how many courses went into it. If GPA is important for some reason, like grad school, then you need to understand what the criteria are for judging your GPA. Is there a minimum number of credits or particular courses they will want to see grades in? That sort of thing.
