Hello-

I am interested in applying for my MBA with in the next year or so. I wanted to give myself some time to build an alternative transcript, study and take the GMAT, etc.

I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2005 with a double major in Finance and Political Science. My overall GPA was 2.56 with no real trend upward. Since graduation I have been working in a finance/accounting role (first as an Assistant Controller for a hospitality company for 2 years and currently as an Accountant for a telecommunications company).

I would like to build an alternative transcript but am wondering what classes would be the best to take. Since I graduated with a quantitative degree and have professional work experience in accounting I want to take the classes that would benefit me best in obtaining an MBA as well as preparing for the GMAT.

Any adivce you have will be helpful!

Thanks,

MBAbound

Dear MBAbound,

Great question! I think math courses are the best preparation for both business school and the GMAT. Finance professors also feel math courses are the best preparation as you need to have a strong grasp of algebra and calculus prior to taking your core finance courses. Thus I would suggest taking finite math, college algebra and/or calculus. Statistics is also a good choice, but I'm a big believer in taking math courses based on my experience.

Good luck,
Lisa
