Hi Stacy/Amy,
I have a quick question regarding the grades of the statistics course.
I didn't do so well on these courses during undergraduate school.
I am wondering if it's worth retaking them again.
I plan to apply for Fall 2008 class and plan to take GMAT for the first time in October.
I am not sure if I should wait for one more year, so I can improve on my GPA first. Or focus on GMAT.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Elin,

I would see how you do on the GMAT first. I'm not sure why you are focusing on statistics in particular, but what's most important for the academic profile is your overall GPA in undergrad, along with your demonstrated quantitative ability. This could be demonstrated through a high GMAT score and/or good grades in engineering, calculus, statistics or even economics.

Good luck!

Amy

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
