Graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in CS a couple years ago, had some family issues during undergrad (parents were very sick and constant hospital visits) and I did crappy in undergrad.
I failed 2 courses but I cleared them both and one of them I got an A on my second attempt. Whats worse is that I have some Ds, specifically in a second year statistics course and and a D in a calculus course. Upward trajectory though, cumulative gpa is a 3.1, but last 2 semesters are 3.9 and 4.0 respectively.
I knew I had to kill the GMAT so I got 770 (50Q/45V/8IR/6AWA). Trying to get into a top school, ideally HSW, but we'll see. I work at Amazon as a Software Developer and I'm going to apply next year.
Should I take a calculus or statistics class from a community college to build an alternative transcript? I want to show adcoms that undergrad isn't a good reflection of my ability since I was going through some stuff. I'm already kind of burnt out from studying for the GMAT and taking 2 courses for an alternative transcript is going to be a bit of a drag. I only want to do it if it makes a big difference. I guess my question is if my high GMAT score makes up for my crappy college transcript or do I need to do more to convince adcoms? Should I retake the GMAT for an even higher score?

Hi. Welcome to GMAT Club!
Awesome GMAT score. I’m going to move your post into the ask admission consultants sub forum for some professional advice.
Might take would be that since you do have great results in the last two years of your undergrad and you have taken those classes again and you have an exhilarating circumstance, you don’t need to do community college. I think drafting 3-4 lines in your optional essay will have a good explanation.
You have solid stats. I think focusing on your application and showing how you stand out from the crowd would be more valuable. Getting promotions, recognitions and standing out from the crowd.

Great, thanks for that. Is there a new link to my post under ask admission consultants? I can't seem to find it.
