Question about All Schools

Hello,

I’m currently on the waitlist for two T20 business schools. When I initially submitted my application, I included certificates from MBAMath as well as two quantitative courses — Accounting and Statistics — completed through Coursera.

I'm now considering enrolling in the GMAC Business Fundamentals course, and I’m wondering if doing so would further strengthen my application at this stage. Given that I’ve already submitted the MBAMath and Coursera certificates, would completing this additional coursework add meaningful value, or might it be seen as redundant?

I would truly appreciate your insights — thank you!

Funding: GI Bill / Yellow Ribbon.

I love the close communities at Tuck and Fuqua but ultimately decided Wharton was the right decision long-term. I highly encourage other Vets who are applying to utilize mentorship through "Service to School". My mentor was a tremendous asset during the application process and I plan to pay it forward someday.

Notes:

My goals are fairly niche so not sure how to balance the higher cost of CBS ($100K more) for the larger network and incremental prestige vs. full ride at Stern, where most of the recruiting focus and resources are for traditional pathways like banking and consulting.
