What are recommendations about how to demonstrate quant skills when applying to business school? I feel like I've gotten a broad array of advice and am curious what some of the experts here think.
I work in non-profit, so my job does not require much math. My undergraduate major was philosophy and literature.
1) GMAT score--is a score of a Q48 (80%) enough to keep them committee from wondering?
2) Undergraduate classes--I took physics and multivariable calculus but only got B's (they were my freshman year over 10 years ago!)
3) Taking a class at community college (haven't done this, but am considering it)
I am guessing that some schools care more than others. My list includes Stanford, Kellogg, Yale, and Haas. Haas actually asks about quant skills, so I'm wondering if that program is the most picky about it. Will schools accept you and ask you to take quant classes if they're concerned?
Thanks!
