winnerhere,

Yes, I would recommend retaking those college math classes and earning an A or B.

Good luck,

Yes. You should definitely look out for the ways you can communicate your ability to handle the quantitative aspect of MBA coursework. Taking classes in community schools and getting A's will be one way. CABM certification is another way. Also, it will be important for you to crack theGMAT, especially the Quant section. Highschool grades do not matter at all in the MBA application. Good luck!

Thanks Paul and biz. I have passed out and have got the college degree too. So its not possible to retake the engineering maths courses. I would readily take CABM certification as mentioned by biz - but it seems it would take sometime to complete it.

Please offer me any course that is specific to calculus and math that would convince the admission panel that I am able to handle their course. Any globally accepted certification related to business maths involving calculus,which that business schools would find worthy?
