<p>just out of curiosity, how hard is it to get into the top Masters in accounting programs (like UNC, Michigan, Virginia, USC, etc.)? Also, if you are interested in the more financial aspect of accounting, can getting a masters in accounting help you lateral into the finance-side of things, or would an MBA, or in fact, both be the best route to go?</p>
