This is going to be my last thread on this topic, I promise!
I graduated in 2010 from a generic public university with a BS in Engineering and Economics, 3.02 GPA. I worked 30-40 hrs/wk during school, was politically active and active in some non-political EC's. I'm planning on applying next fall to matriculate 2015.
I know my GPA is a weak spot. Last year I took a grad level business course and received an A. I had to ask permission from the professor to take the course because it was so high in the program that I didn't have any prerequisites satisfied (or their prerequisites). I also passed the CFA Level 1 first try in June, and just sat for the GMAT and received a 750 on my first try.
I also participated in an investment banking/private equity case competition last January. My team got to the finals. I'm planning on participating again this year if I take another course (you have to be a student to participate).
My question is, is one course and all of this enough for an alternative transcript to offset my ugrad GPA? If not, how many more courses would I need to take and get A's in? I'm probably going to take another course in the spring so that'd be two courses.
This GPA is just a weak spot on my resume and I want to destroy it as a potential ding source.

For rebuilding an alternate transcript, you would like to retake (and get A’s in) calculus and statistics courses, if you had originally performed badly. That said, your GPA is already mitigated by the fact that it was in a difficult degree. Couple this with a high GMAT score, CFA designation, A in another course, and I do not think you need to do any more to mitigate your GPA.
Now, concentrate on building the best MBA applications possible.
Good luck,

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately my performance wasn't poor in a particular area, it was just all B's across the board, so I have nowhere to focus in specifically with an alt transcript. Because of this I decided to do business courses, as I figured that's what adcoms would want me to be able to excel in.
