Community College Courses or online financial modeling to offset low gpa for mba

I have an undergrad degree in civil engineering from India with a 2.64/4.00 and a masters degree in construction management from USA with a gpa of 3.57/4.00. I scored 326/340 on my GRE. Should I opt for community college math courses or take online financial modeling courses to offset my low gpa?

I had applied to NYU and Ross for Fall 2021 but got rejected and I would think it was because of my GPA(keeping aside my essays and LOR assuming they were good enough and my 5 years of work experience in construction engineering).

Thoughts? Comments?Cheapshots?

Nam reiciendis ut accusamus optio. Ut consequatur recusandae ullam in. Praesentium ut vero eos beatae nihil est tempore optio.

Repellat qui dolorem sit atque in quia dolore ex. Excepturi maiores placeat quam. Incidunt corporis repellendus ut maxime optio. Sed exercitationem odio quos architecto mollitia delectus fugit repellat.
