Hi, I am an early career applicant and am interested in doing an MSc management in the UK or a MBA from a mid-range school if possible. With average gpa (upward trend), a good gmat (I am yet to take my gmat) and good extra-curriculars and leadership evidence, I feel taking a recognised online course and performing very well in it will boost my chances. Pls suggest what subjects I should be looking at, and if possible, gimme a few specific suggestions to

I have an engineering background, so strong in calculus. Ideally, something not very long and possible to self study. THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi there,

I recommend that you target business courses instead of calculus or statistics since you already have an engineering degree. A finance course might be your best option. Getting the hang of building financial models and understanding discounted cash flow analysis can be a bit intimidating once you are in business school, so the early exposure would definitely help. If you can do a traditional offline course, that would be best, but if you need to go with an online course, here are a few options to consider offered by reputable schools:

University of California at Berkeley Extension School - https://www.unex.berkeley.edu/online/

Penn State University - https://www.worldcampus.psu.edu/

Syracuse University - https://suce.syr.edu/students/current/co ... ce/online/

Hope this helps!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
