Online MBA class gap fill [#permalink] New post   02 Jan 2014, 04:50
Hey all -

Looking for some advice. I recently took the GMAT and received a score I am less than happy with. I pan to retake the exam after investing in the tutoring services from Manhattan or Kaplan. However, I do not want this low score to delay the start of my MBA and want to start taking a class or two online while studying to increase my test score to get into a GREAT brick and mortar school.

My question is, since I do not plan on completing my MBA online, just taking a couple classes until next year (RD 1 of admissions) do I need to go through the whole full blown admissions process? My guess is it will depend on the university, but thought I'd shoot it out here to see if there is anyone who can help.

TIA!

No need to start your MBA online - rather you could just take an Accounting or Finance class at a community college or University extension system. Your credits aren't going to transfer anyway.

My research has led me to believe anywhere from 1-3 classes can be transferred as long as it meets the accepting universities standards. Most of the time that is as long as the institution is accredited. Still something to think about…. The challenge is I currently live in a non-english speaking country so the universities here are out of the question. Online is really the only option for me.

To clarify, there's a difference between taking online courses and starting an online MBA program you have no intention of finishing. My suggestion is taking online courses. A lot less red-tape.
