MS Accounting w/ MBA in perspective

My GMAT sucks / chances at masters
My GMAT quant is terrible. Just took the test yesterday and got a 640 (38Q/ 39V). This was much lower than expected, my last 2 practice tests where 700 (43/43) and 710 (I forget the splits).

Indiana vs. Baruch vs. Boston
As far as accounting goes, I've been told Kelley is outstanding! But location wise, NYC /east coast is better than Bloomington if you go to BC or Baruch I believe. Kelley vs. Zicklin vs. Carroll? how about Carlson? Does Carlson(Minnesota) have a good program as well? One last question, comparing to...
