MBA recommendation letters are one of the most misunderstood parts of the application process. Many applicants focus on choosing the most senior recommender — when what actually matters is specificity, credibility, and examples of impact.

I'm in the process of building an alternative transcript for certain business/economics classes I did poorly on in undergrad, using UCLA extension courses (Business Statistics, Business Valuation, Financial Statement Analysis). However, I'm wondering if it may be more worthwhile to take other courses (like Intro to Accounting and Microeconomics) as I've heard that some schools ask specifically whether you've taken certain courses and what grade was received. Which classes (if any) are required to be reported as part of an MBA application?
I'm talking specifically about individual course grades, not the entire transcript. If this isn't a common practice, I'd feel more comfortable about taking UCLAx classes like Business Valuation that don't necessarily line up 1-to-1 with courses they would ask grades for, like Corporate Finance.
EDIT:Coming back to this after having applied to all my schools. Yale SOM and UCLA asked for specific courses but I don't think they're factored in all that much to the admission decision - more to decide whether to make you take math / finance boot camp before orientation.

I am less familiar with them asking for your specific letter grade for particular classes. They do look for proof of numeracy by reviewing the grades you got in quant oriented classes finance statistics economics etc. So I think it would be OK for you to freestyle with those other classes that might not line up specifically with core curriculum shiz. Might do MBA Math as a back-up here; there's a long history of using this as a proxy for your ability to do the work and will make it easy for you to look qualified. To be honest the CFA should really do the job so you don't have too much to worry about if you've gotten good grades for the extension courses on top of the CFA.
Might want to address the reason for the poor showing on the quant classes in college if there's anything substantive there ie outside of frat life fallout.

They will consider Total GPA, not the individual scores. However, GPA is one of the factor in your application. They look into your holistic profile rathen than one parameter perticular. If you focus on your profile bulding like GMAT, WE, Essays, you will cover up the GPA deficit. All the best
