<p>hi</p>
<p>i would like to know if doing a summer course (like in LSE ) in management or international relations or sumthing would help in an MBA app?</p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>Of course it would. It won’t make or break your application, but you’re still better off having taken the course.</p>
<p>hi alicantekid…thanks for replying…would you also noe of the more reputable summer schools?</p>
<p>i plan to apply to LSE for sure,but i dont exactly have a list right now…this is for next summer btw , lol</p>
<p>work experience post-undergrad is going to help more than any summer program.</p>
<p>Summer school is summer school. Regardless of if you take it at a community college or at an Ivy League School, I don’t think it’ll make a huge difference. You’re probably better off taking it at a local school because it’ll be cheaper. It’s not worth moving to Cambridge and shelling out thousands of dollars to take a couple classes at Harvard when it’s usually not even the tenured faculty taking the courses.</p>
<p>“work experience post-undergrad is going to help more than any summer program.”</p>
<p>yes thats very true i suppose but as alicantekid said that it prolly will look good on one’s app…</p>
<p>@alicantekid-ok so ur point is that as long as it is a a good overall uni its ok…</p>
<p>thanks again</p>

<p>Well, it can’t hurt, presuming you perform decently. If you get a bad grade, then it will probably hurt. </p>
<p>But I do agree with dcfca that it would probably be more useful for you to have a productive summer internship, preferably one that will lead you to a strong full-time job after graduation. For example, I certainly wouldn’t turn down an investment banking or a consulting summer internship for summer school. </p>
<p>But if the best summer job you can get is working at the mall, or stocking shelves at Walmart, and you don’t need the money, then I agree that summer school may be better for you.</p>
<p>thanks for your replies everyone…</p>
<p>You only need to take that summer class if you dont have a strong undergraduate G.P.A . Otherwise, it is not a wise choice to spend extra thousands of dollars. It is better to spend the money on something else. But if you dont have strong g.p.a, doing well in a course in London School of Economics would help you tremendously. Good luck!</p>
