<p>I used to help in recruiting for Deloitte Touche many years ago. It is astounding how many kids with top GPAs interviewed with us. I would say that you certainly need at least a 3.5 in accounting to get in with the Big 4 and probably a 3.4 or better overall GPA. You will certainly need good interviewing and communication skills too.</p>
<p>Be advised, although the big 4 firms pay well, they expect a lot of hard work. However, if you make it to partner, you should be able to earn in excess of 1 million per year.</p>
