Bombed GRE Quant Section- Trying to Improve Admission Chances

[SouthAfrican&Proud]

Hi there,

 

So I've already submitted my applications for MA Programs in International Affairs/Development for the Fall but completely bombed the GRE Quant section.  I didn't do too bad on the verbal and I'm generally strong quantitatively (I've worked in finance & risk management capacities for the past 1.5 years) but overall I think I just don't do standardized tests well. 

 

A lot of the programs have a heavy economics/quantitative component and I'm afraid that my quantitative performance will count me out of the admissions process.  I do have a previous BA in Economics (although a 3.0 overall GPA).  To increase my chances I'm currently taking graduate level economics classes in Econometrics, Micro-economics & Calculus.

 

Do you think it would be wise to send these schools the course list I am taking now to be added to my applicant profile while they are still reviewing applications before March final decision time?  Could this possibly boost my chances and demonstrate my quantitative potential?

 

I welcome any advice or suggestions
