Thank you for your feedback! What is the best way to go about highlighting my success in math-heavy courses? Will it suffice to simply point out that I made As and Bs in classes x, y, and z on my transcript? I want to make my essay as concise as possible, since there is a 250 word limit.

Thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated! I would rather not take the GMAT again, since this is my second time taking it (first score was 650).
