dear all,
please provide me with any guidance or suggestion and point out what i may be missing. i know i'm way behind on schedule to apply for fall '09, but i am going to apply for fall '09 for Masters program in Accounting. i had to eliminate couple of schools i was considering due to lack of time and those schools were requiring prerequisite courses that i would need at least one more semester to complete before i apply.
so here's the list of schools i'm looking forward to applying with the dealines of either march or later:
- UT Austin (MPA program) - dream school considering my gpa/gmat are below their average.
- U of Rochester (MS Accountancy) - another dream school considering my gpa/gmat situation
- Fordham Univ (MBA in Public Acct)
- SMU Cox (MS in Accounting)
and here are some of the info about me:
- 3.3 Econ Major/Business Minor @ UT Austin
- 650 gmat 47Q/33V (3rd attempt and not a great score but showed improvement through those 3 exams)
- 1.5 yrs of job experience @ a small CPA office (worked as a staff accountant and main task was to file taxes for individuals & small businesses)
- 2.5 yrs of job experience @ a major semiconductor company (construction sector) as a senior accountant...dealt with more of corporate level accounting work & payroll
involved in one volunteer work per year and an extracurricular involvement throughout.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
