I would suggest Southern Cal (USC), University of Texas, UVA, or University of Florida. All four are top notch MSA programs and place extremely well.
1 University of Texas-Austin 2 University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign 3 Brigham Young University 4 University of Notre Dame 5 University of Michigan 6 Indiana University Bloomington 7 Texas A&M University 8 University of Southern California 9 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 10 Ohio State University 11 Michigan State University 11 University of Georgia 11 Arizona State University 11 University of Washington 15 University of Florida 16 University of Virginia 17 University of Wisconsin-Madison 18 University of Missouri-Columbia 19 University of Mississippi 20 University of Arizona 21 University of Iowa 22 University of Alabama 22 College of William & Mary 24 Baruch College-The City University of New York 25 University of Utah 25 Miami University (Ohio)
OPs Stats/story should be good enough to shoot for the top 10 listed here. Any of those will get you into the Big 4 pretty easily.
Personally, I chose Indiana (over Ohio St and Illinois) and loved it. I'd give IU serious consideration.
Thanks all, you guys are very helpful. My problem is how to get a scholarship for that degree. What about Master Accounting at Wake Forest University ? I know that its ranking is not so good compared to aforementioned schools, however, seemingly that it usually give scholarship for applicants.
Look into Brigham Young University. Their student body tends to be less diverse (white, male, Mormon) and like to bring in international students.
If you get into one of the top programs, and have a heartbeat, you'll get a job with a Big4.
