Impact of Post-Bacc Coursework on GPA and MBA Admissions

Hi all,
I finished undergrad with a 3.1 GPA from a T40 School and have since taken several post-bacc classes in finance and accounting, and science earning mostly A’s.

  1. How do MBA admissions committees view post-bacc grades when calculating or evaluating GPA?
  2. Can strong post-bacc performance meaningfully offset a lower undergrad GPA?

Thanks for any insights from those who have been through the process.
