From what I can find on the site, it looks like mbamath.com is basically a course for people to build their skills in finance, statistics, accounting, etc. It's also nice to see that a bunch of schools trust the company's work and will accept transcripts from the program. However, (selfishly) I'm looking for more of an "immediate" result (test) to show that my quant skills are good. I would have definitely considered mbamath.com if I had known about it months ago. Would starting the mbamath.com program now persuade the Adcoms that I can handle the MBA level coursework, despite not having completed the program at the time I submit application? I would assume the Adcoms would want to see actual good results (class/quiz score), although I guess doing the program would still be a plus factor for the MBA application...
This is the quickest way to prove your quantitative aptitude to the adcoms. They take it very seriously and it only takes from like 12 to 20 hours to complete and it's a self-paced online program. And you can forward the transcripts directly to the schools as well. Completing this program will assure them that you can handle the rigor of MBA math base courses. The website looks cheesy but I can assure you that this has a lot of weight with adcom.
https://MBAPrepCoach.comWould this also help with low grades in undergraduate quant courses? I had bunch of math/finance classes but got B for most of them.[/quote]Well it's not like they're going to tear those grades off your transcript and stick it MBA math.
They're trying to ascertain if you are good at math. you need indicators to show that you can keep up with the coursework.
This can be accomplished a number of ways and the more the better. Ideally your test score would reflect this but if not maybe a CFA, or maybe strong undergraduate grades, or maybe a super quantitative job, or maybe you took a bunch of University classes in statistics,. If you don't have any of those things you need to furnish this somehow and that's what MBA math does..
Right now I have a client who is a CFA but his test score is low and his grades are too. He does have some good grades and some math classes in undergrad but he's still doing MBA math to solidify that he is legit. I have another client with a 640 GMAT who does not have a CFA comes from an international relations background, and he only has a few statistics classes from a master's degree. He's doing MBA math. You trying to build a case that you can keep up with the class. And this is one brick in that case and a very good one and it has a lot of weight. I hope this is all very clear now. Good luck.
