I am an Electrical Engineer, currently working in India with a work experience of 4 years in the manufacturing sector and will be applying for next years term. What kind of supplementary courses should I consider to boost my profile, considering my high school science and engineering graduation background. Also, please state if any such recognised course would be available online so that i may take them at my convenience.

Hi aceacharya,

Thanks for your post.

We generally recommend building an "alternative transcript" through part-time courses in order to offset a weak undergraduate GPA or low quantitative GMAT score. In order to be effective, the courses should generally be on the more quantitative side such as Economics, Finance, Statistics / Regression.

UCLA Extension offers online courses that are well-respected by MBA admissions committees. https://www.uclaextension.edu/Pages/default.aspx

Good luck!

Best,
Heidi
