Hi! I'm new around here:
I'm an undergrad student at Stern, and there's a program that I can apply for that would give me a BS and MS in Accounting. I'm probably going to try and break into IB–is the program worth it?

Given the high price-tag of a Stern degree, earning a MS is worth it in 4 years. Although it is not needed to get into IB. Focus all of your energy into networking/interview prep and you will be fine.
Definitely wouldn't hurt your chances at all, always good to have more on your resume to help you stand out from other candidates. I'm sure the 4 year MS in accounting program requires a much more rigorous course load than a regular BS degree which could definitely help you sell yourself in interviews and "prove" you can handle the hours and stress of IB - the only caveat here is your GPA needs to be just as good as someone not in the program. So I would say go for it as long as your sure you can maintain the same GPA as if you dont do the program.
yea an MS in accounting would be pretty beast if you can maintain a 3.5+ gpa
but id use that extra time studying to find internships at boutique banks in the city
PMed you
stern's BS/MS program is 4 years but you're required to take a few classes the summer after your senior year. they end in late august, so there's no way to do IB because training for analysts goes on during that summer.
