Quantitative courses for compensating low GMAT score

Question

Hi everyone, I wanted some advice on whether I should pursue any quant related certificate course to compensate for my low gmat score in order to strengthen my profile for the application. I scored a 680 with Q 44 and V37. My undergrad is in business and my GPA is 9.25 out of 10. I do not plan to retake a gmat as I’ve been prepping for a long time now, i don't see much scope of improvement.
Any advice on what specific course to take (calculus or other kind of quantitative finance course) and from which platform to take the same is appreciated! I saw a few courses on Coursera but I do not know whether the AdComs would regard them as valuable. I do not have a lot of time to dedicate and I am targeting round 2 MBA deadline so accordingly any short term quant course recommendation is preferred

Thank you in advance

fincan7  - Thank you for your query! Too often, students convince themselves that they are “just not math people.” As a result, they often score significantly lower on the GMAT than they would have if they had revised their way of thinking about how math skills are gained. If such students instead believed in the power of hard work and perseverance in gaining math proficiency, as nearly all experts who study math education do, these students could set themselves up for higher GMAT scores, more impressive degrees, and higher-paying jobs. The biggest secret about GMAT math is that anyone can master it if that person is willing to put in the work.

The Target Test Prep verbal course is a one-stop-shop for students aiming to achieve perfect accuracy on the GMAT.

ScottTargetTestPrep Thank you so much for taking out time to reply to my query. I appreciate and accept whatever you said about preparing for quant on gmat. However, i have already spent a lot of time preparing for the test and couldn’t really get the desired score. Also i don’t have much time further to spend on bettering the score due to other commitments. Hence i was referring to the quant related certificate courses available online, that wouldn’t really take a lot of my time

And in turn prove to the admission committee that my quant skills aren’t that bad. I assume the way i drafted my message was vague and open to misinterpretation and hence i have made the necessary edits

I apologise for it and thank you again for your time

Also would definitely recommend your course to friends of mine as i have come across lots of positive reviews on gmat club! Cheers! Posted from my mobile device

fincan7 :

To be entirely frank, taking quant courses is not going to move the needle. It's not the same as taking undergraduate courses or the Quant section of the GMAT. These courses are elective and not under the same pressure/grading criteria as the aforementioned components of your application.

Your score and business undergraduate curriculum may be fine depending on where you want to go to school. If you want to share a potential list, we'd be happy to opine about the impact of the your GMAT score on your chances.
