Can doing the MBAMath.com online course hurt/help my case? [#permalink]
23 Nov 2010, 04:16
Since i come from an engineering background and do not have an exposure to economics, finance or accounting, I want to take this course. but before that i need your honest opinions... Is it viewed in positive light by the adcom? or can it totally backfire?
Even if it pays off a bit i am more than willing to go that extra mile to build my profile..
confused... pls help

On one hand, I don't think there's a big downside risk (as long as you do well) as at least a few good schools (Tuck, Johnson) use this as a pre-MBA prep course. Otoh, I don't think it will be the make or break item in your application. I don't have a strong finance background, but to me the cost/benefit doesn't justify taking the course.
