<p>Hi everyone ,</p>
<p>Am a fourth year Accounting major and am graduating this January. I study at the American university of sharjah (United Arab Emirates) and once i graduate am planing to pursue graduate studies in either the US , Canada or the UK. my issue is that because i used to be an engineering major (which didnt work out so well), my GPA is forever low no matter how good i do in my Accounting courses my GPA is currently (2.8) and am worried about how will that play out when applying to masters programs.</p>
<p>(ps: Language is not an issue , Got a 8/9 in IELTS, and a 102/120 in TOEFL)</p>
<p>Any input, thoughts, advice?</p>
<p>Should we assume that your family will pay all costs? If so, there are probably some grad schools that will accept you.</p>
<p>Have you taken the GMAT? </p>
<p>What is your GPA within your major?</p>
<p>Which grad degree area are you looking for ? Accounting? MBA? what?</p>
<p>Money is not an issue either , my family will pay everything.</p>
<p>I wasn’t required to take the GMAT for my undergrad admissions so i never did it. However i have no problems with taking it.</p>
<p>with regard to my GPA its hard to tell because i would have to take out all my engineering courses out and recalculate my GPA for the last four years. However based on what my grades are usually are i would say its about 3.35-3.5 overall (including electives/humanities/business requirements [Management 201…etc]- excluding engineering courses). and around 3.2 for purely accounting courses.</p>
<p>well am looking at both options MBA and Accounting</p>
