<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm currently graduating this semester and I'm planning to apply to both CUNY Baruch and CUNY Queens college for their MS in Accounting program.
I just recently took my GMAT and scored a 580 with Q36 and V34. CUNY Queens requires a minimum of 450 on the GMAT while CUNY Baruch requires a min of 550 in quantitative and a 450(?) in verbal but the average GMAT of accepted students is around 630. I'm planning to retake the GMAT again in two months to possibly raise my score. </p>
<p>So with the possibility that I might not get the score required for Baruch in my next test and I apply to Queens and get accepted, should I enroll?</p>
<p>Baruch's MS Accounting program is pretty good in the NYC area but for Queens I'm not sure. I haven't found out if the masters program at Queens college is good or not. I've visited their campus and I really like the environment though. </p>
<p>So I was wondering if I get accepted into queens for Fall2014 should I enroll or take the GMAT again for the third time during the summer and hopefully get accepted into Baruch and enroll in Spring2015? I'm planning to get my CPA where one of the requirements is 150 credits. My current overall GPA is a 3.3 and my major GPA is an embarassing 2.6, I just barely made it into the undergrad accounting program, but the reason for this is because I did really bad when I two accounting classes in the same term and I was working as well as being really active in my club which made me overlook my first priorities which should have been school. </p>
<p>If the masters program at Queens is able to land me a job, I am fine with that. I'm looking into private accounting but would want some experience in public accounting first before I make my shift into private and I'm not really looking to work for the Big 4. I've taken cost accounting and found it really enjoyable, or maybe it was just professor's way of teaching it. I've interned at a CPA office before for around 4-5 months during Spring 2013 and I've interned at a big marketing firm at the finance department during the summer of 2012. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your suggestions!</p>
