I was recently WL at Tuck, presumably due to relatively weak GPA / GRE (3.3 GPA in Finance, 320 GRE). 6 years WE in CPG Finance and then Retail Category Strategy. As Tuck is my #1, I'm very much interested in doing whatever I can to move the needle in my favor. Given I'll be WFH for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19, I have a decent amount of extra time / energy to devote to this work. And, because of that, I could possibly do both. My question is, what is more likely to help out here?
The other concern I have is, ETS appears to be postponing any available test dates to late April, which would be very close to the next round of decisions, so am wondering if nailing an online course may be more worthwhile? If I were to take a course, what would be more beneficial -- something like Business Stats or a newer class like Data Analytics that I wouldn't have taken in undergrad given I was a finance undergrad.
Thanks for any insight!!!

Hello njcharlie01,
What is your post-MBA goal? If it's aligned to something in finance then maybe taking some finance certifications would be helpful. If it's around retail or supply chain ( based on your work experience) - may be Data Analytics or learning tools such as Tableau might help.

In terms of taking a course, the key thing is that it is graded so you can show you were able to ace the curriculum. Something that is additive to your undergrad OR 'replaces' a bad grade you got in a quant course are best to target. With so much uncertainty on when you will be able to sit for an in person GRE, I would start with a course. Once we hopefully have more clarity on how this pandemic is going to unfold, consider ramping up your GRE prep. If nothing else, you can send an update letter to Tuck indicating your plans. Here is some additional insight you may find helpful: https://vantagepointmba.com/2017/02/04/ ... -waitlist/. Good luck!
