Gaurava,

A high grade in a financial accounting could help the schools overlook your 2.7 GPA, yes. If you have the time and it won't detract from the time needed to submit a quality application -- go for it.

Good luck,

Gaurava,

I would vote for module 1 and then a second class that seems a logical next step in complexity of material, maybe module 2. The point in taking these courses is just to show them you can handle MBA-level coursework and that you are taking the initiative to prep for B School. My impression is that many B schools just look to see that students have taken truly foundational type subjects like statistics and accounting. They certainly don't expect to see super advanced type courses and may even wonder why you bothered to take them now given your intention to go to business school.
