Alternative Transcript to help 3.0 GPA

Hi-first post here.

I am looking to apply to various programs this fall, but my GMAT quant and undergrad GPA are a little iffy. The GPA was a 3.0, but despite it being from a Top 15 university, I consider it to be weak (FYI-not aiming for a Top 10 MBA program). I got my act together my senior year and made Dean's List but my immaturity freshman and sophomore years killed me.

Anyway, I took an accounting class last summer (got an A)and am looking to take either a Stat I and/or Calc I this summer to beef up my alternative transcript. I took a 400 level stat class senior year, but stupidly pass/failed it, so all I have on my transcript is an S for "satisfactory." Calc I struggled with in undergrad and only got a C-. Would it be worthwhile to take both classes or just choose one or the other? Again, my GMAT quant is pretty sub-par as well (mostly due to timing issues), so I need to study for that again!

Thanks! :D

Taking those classes can certainly help prove that you are a more serious student now. But I would say your first objective is to improve your GMAT. I had two clients this past season with 2.4-2.7 gpas from top 20 national universities and they scored over 730 (one got a 770) and both got into a solid MBA programs. And no not HBS or Stanford:) I myself was a bit surprised they got in and this does not mean that all applicants in that gpa range will fare well.

So doing well on the gmat should be your priority, even if that means taking another class or using a private tutor. That said, a 3.0 is certainly far from a disaster, and they will look at your entire range of application components.

Enjoy the classes and try to get an A- or better.

Good Luck!
