I'll be applying after a gap year

Was preparing for CA Foundation september attempt, realised no matter how many hours i put into CA i have no interest in the field whatsoever so thinking i'll do a BSc Finance next year when admissions reopen, what to do in the gap year? My core interests lie in finance therefore i'll start preparing for NPAT and CFA level 1.

Is the zicklin school of business MS in finance hard to get into even if you have a bad undergrad GPA?

Is it difficult to get into zicklin MSF if you are a indian CA (US CPA equivalent) and 2 years of corporate work experience but an undergrad gpa on the lower side because of managing college + CA exams simultaneously?

We’re both 18 and we’ve been talking for a few months and we really click well but I’m thinking of ending it. Here’s why (need advice)

I have a lot of online friends on discord (we used to play Roblox). My friend invited some of his new online friends to the server and there was this girl who I befriended, genuinely the sweetest kindest and the most mature girl ever and she was like perfect for me. Eventually ended up befriending her and we texted constantly for about a month and we developed feelings for each other and we were ready to do whatever it takes to be together in the end. But you know, right person, wrong time. She’s priviledged to be born in the US and I’m here all the way in india, I don’t have a job yet and I can’t till im 22, part time jobs pay like shit here and I’m preparing for a series of exams that’ll help me secure a professional qualification in the country, and it’s just... a lot for me to handle. I genuinely won’t have time to text or voice call or video call her because our schedules won’t align + I have to spend 10-12 hours of my day studying for these exams. I’ll finally be over with them by the time I’m 22. I don’t wanna leave her but it’s pointless. It’s going to drain me out. I just wish I was born in her country or, a more developed country. Life is hard here. I wish we would’ve met later, when i was 20-21ish, so that we could fly out to each other and it’d be a proper LDR where we’d both be mentally and financially better and stable. I hope that by the time I’m 21 and and this girl is still single, we could start something again. We could fly out to each other whenever we want, would have more autonomy over our lives, maybe I could apply to a US university after working here for a couple of years, just endless options that could work. But right now, we’re too young. I’ve had my fair share of time thinking about this and as much as it hurts to say, the concept of right person wrong time exists. What do you guys think?

How hard is it gets into a masters program in Baruch? (MS in finance)

Is it very competitive? Does it matter if you have a low undergrad GPA but 2 years of corporate experience as an assistant accountant and US CPA equivalent degree?

What are my chances of getting into NYC's Baruch College Zicklin School of Business? (MS in Finance, want to break into finance roles)

Profile:

Age:22, Nationality/Ethnicity: Indian

Indian CA (one of the hardest exams in the world and a USCPA equivalent but 4x more rigorous)

Corporate experience of 2 years (since practical training in the form of internships are mandatory to quality for the final exams of the CA)

Undergrad GPA: 2.4-2.8GPA on a scale of 4 (undergrad GPA is low because I was managing the undergrad as well as the CA simultaneously)

1-2 letters of recommendation

I hope they don't mind the undergrad GPA because it was really hard managing both the undergrad and the CA exams together, most people qualify CA at the age of 24+ anyways because of multiple failures)
