It seems that the more I ask (here and in person to some admissions people) this question the more confused I get. There seems to be no consensus on if I need to take additional courses to strengthen my profile. So being the determined person that I am :D I'll ask again.

So my quant profile is this this:

Undergrad:
-Probability & Statistics (dropped the class before the semester ended
-Statistics (got a C)
-Research methods in psychology (small quant content in that class)

Graduate:
-Statistics I & II (got a B in both)

GMAT:
-Have not taken

Work:
No quant work in current job at all


So with that profile, do I need to take a quant class (or two) before applying? If it's still unclear, what would I need to get on the quant section of the GMAT to have a better idea whether i need to take an additional course or not.

B-Schools like to see that you have taken Statistics, Calculus, some Econ and Accounting courses.

Of course, there are examples of people who have gotten in to programs without them, but in general, they like to see some proof of quantitative proficiency. Most Undergrad Business majors take all of those courses during there first two years.
