I am looking for some straight talk here.

I am wanting to get into a Masters in Real Estate Development program, preferably USC.

I have a very low GPA of 2.3 from a University in the Top 50. The GPA came about from a mix of serious personal family problems at home the majority of my college years to not caring at the time.

I got a 680 on my GMAT.

I have 5 years work experience in real estate - Asset Management managing a large 2MM SF portfolio across the US, Commercial Credit Analysis underwriting loans, and Commercial Brokerage where I sourced a couple million in deals. I would be able to get a couple stellar recommendations and I am very active in ULI, BOMA, and IREM.

I truly believe I would be a great fit for their program, as I think I have a solid and well rounded background in multiple areas of real estate. My passion is in real estate. I am well aware I really screwed up back in college.

The question I have for you guys, do I have a chance in hell or will I just be wasting my time and money? Are there any other programs worth looking at for real estate that I could possibly get into?
