Cornell MPS in management or Kelly MSF for someone who has a undergrad in accounting but wants to work in FDD and eventually management consulting

Hi so pretty much to sum up my situation I’m currently graduating college from a no name university and have secured a big 4 audit position for winter of 2026/2027. My undergrad degrees are accounting and management and the reason why I’m making this post is really because as someone who doesn’t necessarily want to do audit I want to understand my options to pivot and get out of the field. I understand I can probably get a masters of accounting anywhere or with the new rules do nothing go into big 4 audit and then just try to do good on the GMAT to get a MBA then pivot but I feel like most applicants have both stronger academic records and more diverse work for the top schools. I was accepted into a few graduate programs but I’ve really comprised it down to three options, My first option is do no graduate program, study for CPA and enter big 4 audit with my no name school and get CPA tests passed being home the next year before I start. Second option is to go to Cornell for a masters in business management with a specialization accounting (offered through Johnson). (Cost 70k) And then another final option is to do an online MSF at Indiana university Kelly which is only 30k. From what I understand the Cornell and the Indiana program will give me a somewhat decent chance in getting into an accounting consulting advisory type role and I realize that would much help my MBA admissions but I’ve also heard that the Ivy League name on my resume might also help my admission process if I go that route and in the meantime help my get a better job out of college? Lastly the reason why I didn’t apply for the MIT, Yale or Vanderbilt program was during the time of applying I didn’t realize they were about to change CPA requirements.. this is why I at the time only applied to mainly accounting programs because I didn’t want to lose the option to just work in audit. Now that they obviously changed the regulations I can now do the Indiana one but for the others it’s too late.

Also my last option would be attempting a to switch into the Cornell Applied economics with a concentration in finance.
