MAcc to Investment Banking- Texas or UNC
Hi all:
I am looking at two top Master of Accounting programs, Texas-Austin and the University of North Carolina, and trying to figure out which one is better for IB recruiting. Now, I know that a MAcc is quite clearly more suited to Big 4 audit/tax/transaction advisory accounting (a track I am totally fine with) but the fact that I was a finance major in undergrad with several finance internships under my belt coupled with the fact that top MAcc programs (well UT-Austin at least, per its website and things I have read) place some of its more finance-aspiring students into IB, makes me think that if I play my cards right I can get an investment banking gig.
So my question to you is, which of the two programs above draw more attention from IB recruiters? I know that Texas reels in a fairly good amount of IB recruiters, but what about UNC ? UNC has a great undergrad and grad-level reputation as a business school, so does its MAcc program attract attention from investment banks?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Why not a Masters in Finance if investment banking is the goal? I've heard of one year programs post undergrad at Duke, Virginia, Vanderbilt, and Notre Dame .... all schools at the undergrad level that investment banks recruit at.
I am also looking at MSF programs, specifically ones in Europe. However, I prefer the master of accounting route. Any insight on the two programs I listed above is much appreciated.
LSE, if you can get in, has an Msc in Accounting and Finance. I'm just wondering, but why msc in accounting? It seems much better suited for a technical field like restructuring rather than IB. Nonetheless, it should make a good addition to your resume.
I have applied to LSE's MSc Finance program but not MSc Accounting. While I appreciate the well-intentioned suggestions regarding other things I should do, does anyone have any insight on UT-Austin and UNC, the two programs in question?
Thanks in advance
