Hi everyone,
On the whole, my undergraduate transcript should be strong enough to get me into a decent MBA program (GPA 3.3/4.0). But, I do have one blemish. I received a D in the finance course specific to my major, Construction Finance. It wasn't due a lack of aptitude, moreso immaturity, laziness, lots of partying, those sorts of things. A year later, for my Business Administration Minor I took Intro. to Finance offered through my university's business school and received a B+. This particular finance course has a reputation of being brutal, and is recognized as a "weed-out" course for business students (not that I could communicate that to an adcom).
My question is, have I done enough to compensate for my poor performance in the Construction Finance course? Should I look into taking another finance course before I apply to business school?
Thanks!1
