Which Pre-MBA Quantitative course is the best? [#permalink] New post   23 Oct 2014, 07:57
So, I've just finished my first round applications, and I have some time to spare before the second round comes along. Although I managed a 720 on the GMAT, my Quantitative grades weren't great in my undergrad.

I thought the best way to use my time now is to do an online course on MBA mathematics, so that I can cement my quantitative basics and also have an alternative transcript if the need arises. I have done my research online and I have the following four options to pick from.

1: MBA Math($150) :
2: MBA IQ($195) :
3: GMAC Essential Prep($200) :
4: Harvard online courses :
Three Interesting courses here:
->Mathematics for Management - $90
->Quantitative Methods - $150
->Spreadsheet Modelling - $110

Which would you recommend for me? If you can think of any better options, please let me know.
Thanks in advance! :)

PS : I would have included the links, but GMATClub wont let me :? :oops:

I would say any online business course would trump the courses listed above for example courses like stats, accounting, econ are generally nice courses for an alternative transcript. If you are just looking for a quick refresher on MBA analytical concepts, many schools have steered admits towards MBA Math.

Hope this helps!

My consultant recommended and I took UC Berkeley's Extension Math for Management course. I was pretty much in the same situation as you are, but for R1.

Wanted to see if anyone ever got feedback on this? I would love to hear any recommendations for online or in person (if in NYC) courses? Thanks in advance for sharing!

Not sure if anyone will see this, but just wanted to ask - is it possible to complete the UC Berkeley Extension Math for Management course in 60 days while working + working on applications for R1?
