<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>I am starting my process of researching B-school, studying for GMATs, ect. I am a little worried that I am wasting my time and wondering if someone would give me some guidance. My college GPA is really low and is deterring me a bit from making moves more aggressively. </p>
<p>Here are my details:- </p>
<p>1) I went to a state school and my Cum GPA was a 2.880. I double majored (English and Jurisprudence) and up until my last semester double minored (Pre-Law and International Studies). </p>
<p>2) Work experience:
- Two yrs as a Paralegal for a top firm
- Two yrs at an Investment Bank working with contracts in the derivatives market.
- Reaching a year with one of the top hedge funds in the world doing a combination role consisting of Project Management and Regulatory/Legal work. </p>
<p>I am studying for my GMAT and working towards a 650 or higher, however, my standardized test taking skills aren't the greatest. </p>
<p>Since my undergrad GPA is significantly low to apply to B-school, I was thinking of taking additional classes for a few reasons. I did not take an Econ class nor a real substantive math course while in undergrad. I am looking to take those classes now to show B-schools that I can achieve high grades in these type of classes. Does that make sense? </p>
<p>I am wondering if I am thinking about this in the right way and if there is anything else I can do to help my chances of getting into a top B-school. I want to be on a two year track from now and so I am looking at the 2016/2017 school yr. </p>
<p>Any help and advice would be great. </p>
<p>Many thanks.</p>
