This just came to my e-mail:
Seems like tricky wording. I have to wonder if they intend for the "free course on Coursera" to be used for one of the for-graduate-credit iMBA courses. Thoughts? I am tempted to try it. I wouldn't mind gaining some more free graduate credits! I assume I'd have to list the MBA credits from Walden which I received in my first term. I wonder if attending Walden previously would help or hurt the application too...
