<p>which school is better for undergraduates looking to major in accounting?
U of Iowa
U of Northern Iowa
U of Minn. Twin Cities</p>
<p>I've heard that UNI does a good job at preparing students for the CPA exam, and most graduate and pass soon after graduation.</p>
<p>OR
is this one of those "it doesn't matter where you go, just do well" types of things
thanks</p>
<p>Doesn’t matter as long as it’s accredited and the Big 4 recruit there.</p>
<p>k that’s what I was thinking
thanks</p>
<p>It matters, choose the school that is most heavily recruited from.</p>
<p>that would probably be minnesota, but how would one go about finding out which school gets the most recruiting?</p>
<p>scratch that could be iowa too, who knows.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter enough to incur a lot more expenses though (if that is the only reason one goes to a more expensive/prestigious school) - as long as you make yourself the usual top-student candidate, the school name isn’t going to matter that much. Of course, there are other reasons to go to a higher-calibre (though non-elite) school besides how much the big 4 recruit there.</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^Agreed. But for the record, Iowa is ranked higher</p>
<p>hmm, good to hear. I live right in Iowa City, won’t be quite as far to visit lol</p>
<p>^^^ If I owa has the better business school, and you’re in state (actually, in city) then we shouldn’t be having this conversation lol cuz I think its’ pretty obvious what your target should be.</p>
<p>haha that’s probably true but i just wanted to check and make sure.</p>
<p>Even though you haven’t given your stats, I wish you the best of luck</p>
<p>thanks man.
I have a 3.4 something GPA and got a 27 on the act. should be fine to get in to Iowa - applied about 2 weeks ago and they start responding in September so should be pretty soon</p>
<p>Since you’re in state, I’d say your chances are great</p>
<p>wouldn’t the fact that minnesota is located in a big city help with recruiting?
just wondering</p>
<p>Iowa is a top 25 accounting school. If you prefer the big city, then Minnesota would be good. If you’re just worried about recruiting, don’t worry- they’ll find you.</p>
<p>alright thanks for the clarification.</p>
