Hi all,

I have a 2.71 undergraduate GPA from UC Santa Barbara with many classes in Business, Economics, and Accounting. I'm trying to get into a local MS Accountancy program (Ive applied to 7 Cal. State. Univ. programs that have the degree). I have about 7 years of work experience (not direct accounting experience - I was a mortgage underwriter, loan officer, and real estate broker).

I already took the GMAT once and scored a disappointing 510 (66% Verbal, 20% Math, 5.5 AWA).

Im retaking the GMAT in a few weeks. Can you tell me what I'd need to have a realistic chance of getting into one of these programs?

Thanks so much!
