Math major, no accounting classes/exp, want to get MAcc.
I graduated Dec '12 with a 3.8 GPA in Mathematics from a low-ranking state school. I have no accounting courses or accounting work experience. Lackluster work experience in general: about 7 years of part-time retail before/during/after undergrad, and 2 years in a factory doing manual labor. I gave dental school a try but it wasn't me and I dropped out at the end of the first semester.
Given my academic backgrounds, any suggestions on which schools I should be looking at for an MAcc? I want to work with the Big 4 out of school -- not for life, but just to build my resume and lay a foundation for the rest of my professional career -- so a school with good Big 4 recruitment is important. A program with affordable tuition would be nice, too.
edit: I haven't taken the GMAT yet.
UVA would be good choice. You don't need any background in Accounting to do MAcc.
I've seen people do it with soft liberal arts majors. If you handled Math, you can handle Accounting.
