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?

Does the Masters in Real Estate program take the GMAT or do they take the GRE?
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

The majority of MSRED programs will take either GRE or GMAT.

You could engage admissions about your low GPA. Their website states that they have admitted students who do not meet the minimum requirements.

You can also post this topic on cyburbia's forums. It's an urban planning online community but every year there is a thread for applicants of MSRED programs. Here's a link to the 2014 MSRED batch:
