Quantitative Methods In Finance (Stanford)

Hello Monkeys,

As some of you may know, I'm struggling landing an analyst position. I'm thinking about pursuing a graduate certificate in Quantitative Methods in Finance from Stanford. It's 3 classes for 11k. It would give me a chance to prove my quantitative skills and maybe help offset my low GPA.

What do you guys think?
