Hi,

thanks for your post. I understand your concern around your academic profile. However, I think you need to take the GMAT before making any decisions about taking additional coursework. Have you taken many quant courses as part of your GE or curriculum? If so, this might help mitigate concern if your GMAT is less than stellar.

For the time being I suggest you take a practice test to see how you score and then develop a study plan. I strongly encourage you to take a course or get tutoring with a goal of scoring above 700 on the exam and 80% in quant. Keep in mind that the exam is changing next month and adding a new section.

Best,

Stacey

"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."
