Hey everyone,
I'm reading through the forum here and I notice a pretty similar pattern with everyone. Perhaps not surprisingly, many applicants seem to have a Quant focus/major/minor on their academic record. I'm starting to worry about my transcript, which had no math or econ classes after sophomore year. I graduated with a 3.4 from a top Communications school in the country (you can probably figure out which one). I've been working since the day I graduated in my field of study, but that's sports production (for a major-market team), not business or IT.
I took 3 Quant classes in undergrad: got an A in Calculus, an A- in Modern Mathematics, and an A in Probability and Statistics. Do you guys feel I need to explain this in one of my essays? I'm hoping the quality grades in these few courses will outweigh the quantity of the classes.

I do not necessarily think you need to call this our in an essay. Maybe just touch on it in the optional essay. I think the concern would be the lower Quant score on the GMAT coupled with your light quant load (Although I think your load was the same as most ug business majors at my school) might raise concerns. Are you going to re-take the GMAT or are you satisfied with your score? I think the combination is a bit of a red flag you might want to get in front of.
I have nothing to reference except from what I have seen on these forums and my interactions with some adcom members through various events. Hope this helps.

Oh I'm definitely taking the GMAT again. Well aware my Quant score is too low. I know I'm better than that, just need to prove it on the test. I expect a 43 or above when I retake in 8 weeks.
