<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I in a really tough situation. I was planning to apply for a Masters of Accounting degree after finishing my economics at the University of Michigan.</p>
<p>Everything was going fine until my previous semester. I had a 3.4 GPA and a 3.2 GPA for economics. Nothing spectacular, but I think I could have got in to a tier 2 type school. But last semester, I completely ****ed up and basically failed like 3 econ courses that I was taking. This crashed my GPA to a 2.933 overall and 2.4 GPA for Econ. These grades will improve by the end of this month, but not by a lot (even though I am doing okay this semester). </p>
<p>The reason I *<strong><em>ed up that semester was because I made a lot bad decisions and I had seizure a few days before finals. I had some mental health issues, but it was my own fault.
This meant that I had to take the finals later on and I still didn't do well because I still *</em></strong>ed all the coursework during that semester. It's all my fault and I feel despondent and worthless. </p>
<p>I haven't done my GMAT yet, but I am averaging around 640ish I would say. I am going to try to push that up to 700, but I doubt that will happen.</p>
<p>At this point, I don't really see many choices other than applying to several tier 3 schools.</p>
<p>I am considering applying to Pace University. Does anyone know how competitive they are? Would they still take me with my horrible grades if I got a decent GMAT score. I have done an internship last summer, nothing fancy, but it was still a good experience.</p>
<p>I speak Russian fluently, but I don't think anyone will care about that.</p>
<p>Perhaps someone could suggest some other tier 3 Business schools (with Masters of Accounting programs) in NY? I am an international student and I really can't handle living in rural America anymore. </p>
<p>And Finally, is there any point in applying to tier 3 Masters of Accounting program. The big 4 obviously won't consider me. But I wouldn't mind working for a small firm or something as long as I can find an employer who would sponser me with an H1B visa.</p>
<p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
