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.
