Hi,
I have a weaker academic profile in the form of a 2.95 in undergrad (not due to low overall grades, but due to a few quarters where I had to cope with extraordinary family issues), and a 680 GMAT (92% verbal, 59% quant, only taken once). The biggest positive would be that I have taken a tremendously diverse collection of classes, and generally done well across an unusual number of disciplines.
Other than that my profile and essays should be good, as I am a fairly unusual type of candidate, with experiences diverse enough to make for great essays.
I was wondering whether it would improve my profile more if I took the GMAT again and scored higher on quant, or if I took a finance or accounting class over the summer? The main top-tier schools I am looking at are HBS, Tuck, Haas, and Darden.
Thanks!
