Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well! New to WSO - currently a recent ungrad student that is currently a project accountant. Hoping to go back grad school to persue an MBA and take on IB. Cheers

Are you looking to use an MBA to pivot into banking? Top MBA programs usually like to see 3-5 years of work experience then just crush the GMAT or GRE. Probably not worth applying to schools outside the T15. Name of school matters a lot unfortunately. Cost is definitely something to think about. My MBA cost me $175,000 but I was able to cover the loans quickly with my bonuses, so it wasn't that bad.
Thanks for the insight! I've realized this is the reality of things after discussing with a professor at Northwestern.
