Hi there! GMAT is your best bet to offset a low GPA. Supplemental courses can help mitigate a low GPA too and we do frequently recommend those extension courses at UCLA and UC Berkeley as it's best to take full courses where you get a transcript/grade. I think those programs would view the courses similarly as US schools, but why not reach out to Admissions at each school and ask them? It's possible they have specific prerequisite courses they look for or an alternate place to take them that they prefer.

Good luck!

Hi, Apart from work experience and GMAT, do UCLA and UC Berkeley extension school courses help with offsetting a low GPA in Canadian and European business school applications including Rotman, IESE and LBS?

Thank you for your response and guidance.

Do business schools prefer courses covering specific quant topics such as Calculus or Statistics over UC Berkeley's Math for Management?

Hi again!
No, I don't think they have a preference there -- have seen other candidates take Math for Management and it's worked out well for them.
