Without serious work experience you won't get into a Good MBA. Focus on MS/MSc degrees.

You need to decide on your career goal. MS Finance gives you more options. DePaul University's one of the top 100 US business schools. Take a look at http://business-schools.findthebest.com/l/262/DePaul-University-Kellstadt-IL Ask them for the GMAT score for the MS. I guess they will look for 500 plus.

Another undergraduate degree would take three or four years. Since that's longer than the GMAT (you can take that next month) I don't see how that would be an effective way of meeting your career goals.

What are your career goals?

Why not take a career aptitude test? There is more to life than a choice between accounting or finance. There are free ones, like this http://www.whatcareerisrightforme.com/career-aptitude-test.php and your university careers service will have one.

Admissions managers will look at your application by looking at all the information. A career gap is a problem only if you have less work experience than they require. But explain what you did during that year.

Thanks for your replies,I have one more question that do you think If I give GRE will it work for taking admission in MS in accounts or finance in top 100s? because I think GRE is easier than GMAT so it will take less time to prepare.
please reply
thanks.

I think the GMAT will give you many more options. I am not aware of any MFin or MAcc programmes which accept the GRE.

I think that this is a bit of a misconception - especially considering the quantitative sections. It used to be that the GRE was far less quantitative: there used to be only one quant section - but as of the end of 2011 they've integrated two 35-minute quantitative sections and have generally made the quant questions more robust.

Even so, to apply for an MBA or another master's level business course, I would advise you take the GMAT. Even though more schools are accepting the GRE, it's not clear that they look at the two tests comparably. The GMAT has been the gold standard in business school admissions, and I don't think that this will change anytime soon.

Thanks for your advice. Could you give some more details about MS in Finance or Accounts? which is better? or are there any more options for MS?

Use the link above to the FT rankings to compare the courses and their outcomes. Finance pays more. There a list of US degrees at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_master's_degrees_in_North_America - most of these are MS degrees.
