I am a high school senior accepted by both schools and now I am having a hard time deciding which school to attend.
Fullerton is accredited by AACSB in both their accounting and business program. Pomona is only accredited in business. Fullerton offers better recruitment assuming they work with Grant Thornton and Pomona is not specially good with their business program. What is pulling me back is that Pomona has a better campus and campus life since Fullerton is heavily a commuter school. Because of this, I am leaning more toward Pomona.
I want to ask people from both school whether the program and recruitment is actually that much of a difference that I will have to pick Fullerton because of it. Any comment is appreciated, thank you.
Look at specific outcomes from recruiting. How many accounting grads from each school last year? How many got Big 4 jobs? How many got jobs with other public accounting firms?
Grant only has so many entry level positions to fill and they’re recruiting from all sorts of schools.
FWIW - I’m not sure CPP is any less commuterish than CSUF. Both have lots of commuters, both have dorms as well. I know CSUF has nice new dorms built within the last few years.
