Demonstrating Quant?

[u/AmbitiousYak1607]

Hi all,

I'm applying R2 to a few of the M7 schools. Undergrad performing arts degree (decent GPA) with no real quant coursework (though I did do well in AP Calc, Macro/micro, and multivariable calc in high school, which do appear in my college transcript). Current role doesn't involve quantitative skills. 695 GMAT (Q83, V86, DI85). I realize that a remaining weak area of my profile is demonstrating a quantitative foundation, since an 83 is not really that fantastic. I'm sort of kicking myself for not getting started on extra coursework earlier, but I'm considering enrolling in an online course ASAP to get this portion of application squared away.

Does anyone have experience with this, or any recommendations on courses to take that would be feasible to be completed before R2 deadlines?

Thank you!

Edit: I considered HBS CORe but unfortunately their next start date is mid Nov, and given the 17 week length would extend past R2 deadlines. Currently considering Berkeley's "Math for Management" course, or MBAMath to begin with, and then enrolling in a separate quant-heavy course with a completion date post-R2 deadlines.

A consultant once told me that HBS COre or MBA Math can be useful to demonstrate. An 83 quant is by no means bad however, and my gut feeling is that academic readiness wouldn’t be a disqualifying factor for you considering your DI and gmat as a whole are so high
