First off, let me apologize if I haven't posted this in the correct forum. First timer here, so any help or guidance is always appreciated!
I would like to know how to offset a lower GPA to have a better chance at gaining entrance into a good B-School. I graduated with a 2.97 from a state school. Simply due to the fact that I was working 5-60 hours a week supporting my family. but thankfully that time is over. Looking to take my GMAT sometime before June.
Should I be taking business courses at a CC or an extensions? Or should I just leave it as is and try to get the highest score possible on my GMATs?

Hi Iginca,
I would suggest you focus on other parts of your application: GMAT , essays, recommendation letters, resume etc. An excellent GMAT score, great recommendation letters, perfect resume, and effective and persuasive essays can always offset your poor GPA. Also, you have a valid reason to explain your low GPA which you can very well do in your optional essay.
Right now , aim for a stellar GMAT score and work hard for it.
I hope it helped.

I don't think you need to take extra courses. Acing the GMAT will help a lot, as will writing a very direct and clever essay about you working while in school, etc.
