I recently graduated from a CUNY(City University of New York) with a really low gpa (2.5) and I've done no internships in the field of accounting, and all the jobs I picked up were mostly sales associate related. I was just highly unmotivated and had no goals in life; however recently I got serious and really worried about my future. So I decided to take the GMAT which I scored a 690 on, but when I look to apply to grad programs most of them require work experience. Having such a low GPA doesn't really give me much of a option to find a job so I don't have any work experience, is there any chance I'll be accepted into the Zicklin School?

Well, if you can give them a decent reason why you didn't do so well (meaning be honest), with your very good GMAT score, and a show of love for your alma mater, I'd think you'd have a shot.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
