Masters Accounting Recent Recruiting UT USC LSE GWU

Hi guys,

I studied Econ at a non-target school and I'm trying to find a way into IB or even the buyside by getting a Masters in Accounting.

I applied to USC, UT & GWU for 2011. I got into UT and GWU but not into USC, which was my 1st choice.

What has the recruiting been like at these schools RECENTLY - 2009 and 2010?
Are the schools' websites accurate wrt to the firms that recruit accounting majors there?
Are the accounting majors getting IB / Research jobs at GS, JPM, Lazard or are those the stats for the MBA students as well?

No offense to Texans, but I really don't want to end up in Texas - I only want to go there for the recruiting. I would've loved go to USC to get a chance to interview for IB jobs in LA so I can stay in my home state.

If I accept UT, is it possible to land gigs in NY or LA? Will I only be able to go outside of Texas by using the alumni network?

Is the recruiting at Rutgers any better?

If anyone who was accepted to USC wants to swap places, let me know :-)

looks like USC is getting people with GMAT's above 660. I had a 650 and 3.7, looks like that wasn't enough. for your gmat, make sure you spend a little time on the verbal. i ignored it completely and ended up paying for it with a lower total score.

isnt UT best accounting program? where does USC rank? and youd rather live in new brunswick, NEW JERSEY, over austin? ew, vile.

You're right, UT is no1 while USC is no4 but Rutgers is closer to NY so I'm thinking it would be easier to get internships there. Would you agree with this or are all the internship spots in the Northeast filled with Columbia, NYU, Harvard, BC kids?
