Hi Scram Frankln,
If you're applying to HBS, probably HBS Online. If you are applying elsewhere and would attend the UCLA Extension classes, then the one you feel you would get higher grades would be the one I'd recommend. Yes, I realize that HBS Online does not use a traditional grading method.
For additional steps that will be helpful to you in overcoming a low GPA, please see https://blog.accepted.com/what-to-do-about-a-low-gpa/</a">5 As for your Low GPA..
I will not be applying to Harvard. My gpa is too low. I will definitly attend the UCLA classes in that case! Also, great article!
Thanks!
I would recommend the UCLA extension class or another course (either online or in person) where you will be issued a formal transcript upon course completion.
Your course selection depends on what you studied undergrad and your quantitative readiness for an MBA program.
Take a look at https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com/gpa-show-stopper/</a">2.7 GPA - Show Stopper for an MBA and, depending on your background, https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com/five-tips-build-quantitative-pr…</a">Five Tips to Build Your Quantitative Profile
We would be glad to discuss the specifics of your profile in a www.stratusadmissions.com/consult</a"> free consultation .
Wishing you the best on your MBA application journey, Susan
