Happy Labor Day!
I'm currently taking courses to work towards my state specific CPA requirements, and have a question regarding the grades I get in these courses as they relate to MBA admissions.
I graduated with my BS in Finance with a 3.6 and plan on applying to a few top 10 MBA programs in a few years.
When you go through the application process, do you also disclose your GPA for courses you took outside of your specific college/major? In my case I'll have several accounting courses from a community college that I'll have taken post-bachelors. Will having a high GPA in these courses help my admissions chances?
Thanks guys!
I believe you don't have to state these courses on the applicatio but you may get asked about them.
if you get a high GPA there, it certainly won't hurt you. plus the fact that you are doing those extra classes on top of full time work is a good thing. that said, according to people on here accounting isn't the best field to be in for M7 admissions...
Very true. I just wasn't sure if say I get a 4.0 in my accy classes that I'm taking now, would they treat m GPA as say a 3.7 vs. 3.6 without/
Haha well I'm in a finance leadership program, so slightly different than just straight accounting.
most schools ask for a transcript from each school, so you would show a 3.6 from undergrad and a 4.0 from the other transcript
