What are my chances of admission with such a low GPA?

Marco,
If you do well on the GMAT/GRE, given your 3 jobs in college, your work experience, since then, and your URM status, I think you would have a shot at these programs. FIU says it has a 3.0 minimum, but if you do well on the GMAT it may make an exception. I didn't see a minimum at UNC or GWU and I didn't check the others. I don't think your undergrad GPA has to prevent you from earning a masters in accounting. You will, however, need to do well on the GMAT or GRE.
Best,
Linda
