Would it be smart to do Baruch's Masters in Real Estate?
I graduated from an ivy in 2015 and had shitty grades there (2.8 GPA). I have no excuse. I totally fucked around and didn't have my priorities straight. I know I'm capable of doing way better. I went to a top 5 private national High School (think Exeter, Trinity, etc.) and got excellent grades there...
