Hello all.
I was wondering, is it normal to email the graduate director if there's anything i can do to increase my chances of getting accepted into the program? because i know for sure my GPA isn't the 3.0 that's required (i have around 2.8-2.9), but i wanted to see if there were any other options besides retaking classes. retaking classes would be my last resort. If it is ok, what should i be saying and what kind of information should i provide? i just dont want to waste my time (and money) and his when submitting a subpar application
info that could be useful-
-So im looking to apply for UCF's graduate accounting program. I graduated with a bachelors in marketing and ive also taken the required accounting classes for the graduate accounting program.
-ive currently been working at UCF's finance and accounting department since novemeber'14 and im positive my supervisors can give me a good recommendation.
-I have yet to take the GMAT, gonna take it in a month, and the program requires 550+ If i do happen to get less than the required 550, then i guess i would also include that in the email along with my sub par GPA x_x
I planned to contact the director soon after i take my gmat, cause that's pretty much the last thing i need in my credentials.

Hi there.
I'm Zooey from Aringo.
While it may not hurt your odds to inquire about your chances (although it might draw unnecessary attention to the weaker parts of your portfolio), it most likely won't help them either. A lower-than-required GPA is a setback, but it is not the sole determinant of your acceptance and does not automatically make your application "subpar." Also, it does not fall incredibly short of the required 3.0. There are various ways to compensate for your GPA: A solid GMAT score, strong work experience, distinct leadership experiences, persuasive letters of recommendation, and unique qualities (to name a few).
At Aringo, we've seen hundreds of clients with unexceptional scores gain admissions into top MBA programs simply by submitting well-crafted applications that emphasized their strengths and made up for their weaknesses. As you've already pointed out, your supervisors can give you good recommendations - that's a great start.
I invite you to browse our user-friendly website (aringo.com) for tips so that you can begin forming this kind of application.
If you had personal or other experiences that affected your academics during your undergrad, you might consider including a note with your application explaining these circumstances, but - again - with an otherwise solid application, this may not be necessary.
I wish you the best of luck and encourage you to send me a private message with any further inquiries.
Best,
Zooey
