Unfortunately, the only in-game resolutions that are available are 1920x1080 (the only 16:9), some with 4:3 aspect ratio and the native 2880x1800, all but the 16:9 having issues with the mod...
Did you tried windowed mode or setting the game to 16:9?
Go to your "drive":\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\Binaries" folder and run the "MassEffect3Config.exe".
Under "Graphic" you can choose Full screen or Windowed mode and you can also choose the aspect ratio of the game.
It's ridiculous that you have to go through this for a simple problem that shouldn't be there in the first place. It's bad enough that they didn't notice it and even worse they didn't fix it this whole time.

BioWare acknowledged the issue when I brought it up in 2012 but they said it was low priority. It's absurd that a design flaw that affects many PC players was considered low priority. Even in 2012, 1080p monitors were the norm, and the GUI is too small on those as well.

Hello @gragas1234
I am really sorry for those troubles with the game. And since this issues is still giving headache to some of our players, I will try to get an update on this from the developers. Sorry again for any inconvenience this might have caused.
Cheers,

Any reply from Bioware? I'm in the same boat, I play on a 40" 4K TV, and the UI options are so small that it's unplayable, even if I sat 2 feet from the screen.
Additionally, the Mass Effect Mod Manager used to install the scaling mod described in other replies appears to contain the hash for two known trojan horse viruses,
So, I can either play in 1K—a resolution where on a 40" screen, you can literally count the visible pixels—, install a mod program which includes two known trojans, or buy a used copy for Xbox.
Hmm. Decisions.
