Resume for Big 4 position/internship

If I am applying for a position or internship at a Big 4 firm by simply "resume dropping" should I include in my resume that I will graduate with 153 credit hours out of the 150 needed to sit for the CPA exam?

I am, in credit hours, right on the edge of being a junior, currently, and I will graduate in December of 2015 with 153 (or 156) credit hours. 153 minimum though.

Any advice on this is much appreciated!

Not sadly, its a good idea. Save yourself some cash. As long as you meet the CPA requirements, that is. Make sure you look at the fine print. I know in my state, 36 hours of "upper level" accounting classes are required, which would require a Master's.
