Hi,
I am thinking of applying to Business School this fall. While I'm not completely ready to submit for a full on formal evaluation, I do have a more general inquiry that's regards the Academic realm.
I have a BFA from NYU in Film and Television with a GPA between 3.5 and 3.6 (I forgot the exact number but if I remember correctly, it's a high 3.5). Additionally, I attended college with about 16 AP credits from AP Biology and BC Calc (a lot, I know, but this is art school we're talking about here), meaning that I took minimal math/science classes in my four years of college.
My question:
All non-academic factors (essays, work experience, extra-curriculars, etc.) aside, how much of a hurdle is having a BFA as opposed to a BA/BS with regards to applying Business School? And in terms of pure numbers, should my GMAT score be significantly high (700+) to compensate (the first and last time I took it I got a 650)?
To further compensate, I am thinking of taking summer school classes at a local community college in Statistics and Pre-Calc. I don't think I would have any sort of problem doing well in either of those classes as I love academic challenges; however, doing so will be time consuming, and I'd probably have to enroll for summer school full time. Is doing so recommended and if so, to what degree?
Thank you in advance for your time!
