First I want to say thank you to everyone that gives advice. I have posted this on another forum to get advice as well. A little background on my situation. I graduated with a Global Studies degree from UCSB back in 2010. I then went to work for State Farm Insurance for a year but realized I didn't like sales and wanted to do something different but I saw that I wouldn't get far with my degree. At 26 I decided to go back to school to get an accounting degree because I knew it would be a good career choice. I took a couple transferable accounting classes/pre reqs through the local CC and got A's in all of them so I felt I was making the right choice to pursue a career in accounting. Fast forward a year and I applied to grad schools as well as undergrad school but due to my very low gpa in undergrad (2.45) I didn't get into grad school. At the time when I was in college I just wasn't mature enough and didn't have the direction I needed in order to focus and do well. Obviously that has changed with age and I'm very driven now as shown with my performance in the accounting classes I have previously taken. I fortunately did get into University of San Francisco as an undergrad in their accounting program this Fall.
Now for my questions. I want to interview for the summer internships with the Big4 that take place this fall but I read that you have to submit unofficial transcripts from the university prior to your interview. I won't have completed any coursework by that point at USF so will I have to submit my transcripts from my previous schools? I am afraid I won't be considered due to my low first undergrad gpa at UCSB despite receiving a 4.0 in the accounting classes taken this past year. Any advice on how to go about this because I really want the opportunity to work for one of them as my past does not reflect my present work ethic. Is there a way that I could explain my situation since I am obtaining a new degree and in a sense starting from scratch in order to still be offered an interview?
Once again thank you for your help.
