<p>NYU is a reach. The best thing you can do is raise your SAT's. Study your butt off. Get a prep book if you already haven't. I perfer Princeton Review but there are other good ones. Otherwise, have your uncle build a library for NYU.</p>

<p>uconn's accounting program is just as strong...the majority of the students in the program get in with the big four...uconn's acct. program controls the connecticut market in terms of job placement...it is one of the 35 to 40 target schools of the big four</p>

<p>i was an acct. major there, and would have gotten in with kpmg, but switched to finance. This summer I have an internship with ING Investment Management. For the money....You can't beat UConn.</p>
