Hi Shardul

Thanks for posting! I'm definitely impressed with your extracurrculars and encourage you to keep up the good work. Your work experience sounds interesting too. Hopefully you've had a chance to take on increasing levels of responsibility and also manage larger teams at work, which will set you apart from other engineers similar to you. One area in your profile that seems a little on the lower end is your undergraduate GPA. Go back to your transcript and evaluate the classes that brought your GPA down. If a consistent theme is quantitative classes, you may want to take a stats class prior to submitting your applications just to prove your quantitative ability a bit more. (Although certainly a strong Quant score on the GMAT also helps, a class would not be remiss!) I think you've put together a realistic group of schools to target too -- well done there.

Good luck!

Hi Krista,

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Can you please suggest a few Stats courses that I can take.

Will a Coursera stats course work here? Also, is it necessary to get a paid certificate or only going through the course material works in such cases.


Thanks again.

Hi Shardul

There are many only stats classes you can take. I would make sure you take one from a high quality institution, and ideally, one that grants a grade at the end of the class and not just a certificate of completion. I would be doing you a disservice if I recommended any specific one because there are just so many!
