Target School, but not undergrad

If i go to USC, UVA, or Michigan for their MAcc programs, will I have an opportunity to interview with BB firms for front office positions? I have Big4 as a backup.

I know a couple guys from UT who are getting their Master's in accounting and looking to get into corp fin.

I know UT has #1 accounting program but I'm sure you'd have a shot at those places.

 

I got accepted to U.Va's MSA program, which is within McIntire for Fall 07. I talked to the undergrad kids that I knew from high school and they said that you can interview with the banks that recruit there.

Wake Forest offered a full scholarship so I chose to go there for the MSA...but now I'm kindof regretting it because only Bear recruits there.

Yes, you will have the opportunity. Definitely at Texas as well.

 

i am pondering whether to go to MS in accounting (Ross, UNC, U of Illionis) or MS in Finance (Vanderbilt, U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, U of Florida). which master's will serve my analyst goal the best? finance (non-financial engineering) or accouting?
