Stacy Blackman Team:
My goal is to apply to several top tier MBA programs no later than R2 for Fall 2012 matriculation. One of my greatest concerns relates to my undergrad record, particularly quant courses. I have considered taking an additional math class, via distance learning, to demonstrate that I can handle the MBA program curriculum. Would this be a worthwhile use of my time or does my professional experience and pursuit of the CFA designation provide enough evidence? Thank you in advance for your advice.
Overall GPA: 3.36 ; Major: Finance from a state university
GMAT: Expect to score between 680-700, based on my diagnostic CATs
CFA Level II Candidate
3 years spent working as a research associate for large bond fund (quant modeling, etc.)
MATH :: Business Math I: B; Business Math II: C; Statistics: C
ECON :: Micro Econ: A; Macro Econ: B
ACCT :: Financial Accounting: C; Intro to Managerial Accounting: C; Intermediate Financial Accounting: C
FINANCE :: Core Finance Courses: B average
