MSA: BC(Carroll) vs. IU(Kelley)
I've been asking many times here about the decision I have to make pretty soon.
and every week, I've been getting good news from the schools I have had an interview with.
So up to last week, my choice was between IU-Kelley and Baruch College-Zicklin for the Master of Accounting program.
A couple days ago, I received the e-mail from BC that I've been admitted and have to decide before 5/10, which is longer than other schools offer for the final calls.
BC(Carroll), I heard it has a great curriculum, and they are very exclusive; therefore, it's easier to land a job. However, cost of tuition and cost of living is bit expensive. also they are surrounded by MIT and HBS, not sure if they would be a problem for accounting job..
Kelley, it's already well-known, higher rank than BC i believe, although it's Bloominton, not a city where Big4 reside.
So when OCR occurs, between Kelley and Carroll, which school actually gets better job offers from Big4 for Audit/Advisory.
Anyone who went to Kelley or Carroll may help me in giving me some insights?
You do know that you don't have to work in the city of the school, right?
Pretty sure MAcc is an actual degree. I don't know anything about accounting placement.
Master of Accounting is an actual degree. It takes 1 year to complete.
Assuming you are graduating from undergrad this year, you will be facing an uphill battle to get into Big 4. Most Accounting undergrads will be interning this summer for Big 4 and will receive offers at the end of the Summer. You will participate in Campus Recruiting in the Fall while taking classes, studying, etc.
It is not impossible to get a Big 4 offer in the Fall, but there are fewer slots so you'll need to be a mega star with undergrad GPA to rate an office visit.
Hope that helps. Recruiting is a grind.
