Does it matter where I get my masters in accounting if I get my CPA

<p>Here's the deal:</p>

<p>I did my undergrad at SUNY binghamton, a good well known accounting school
I graduated with a 3.972 overall gpa with a ba in accounting. I was accepted into their MS in accounting program.</p>

<p>here's the bad news:
I was diagnosed bipolar my last semester there. I got arrested twice, and went crazy because of my disorder. My parents won't let me finish in binghamton, even though i deffered admission there for a year, and have been healthy for a year.
I got rejected from Baruch MS in accounting, the best program local to me, which my parents would let me go to.
The only other school I got accepted to was SUNY Old westury, which doesn't have the greatest reputation.</p>

<p>My question is: If I go to Westbury, get my masters and CPA, does it really matter that it's not the greatest school. Doesn't the fact that I have a CPA mean more?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Macc is simply meant to prep you for the CPA. Nothing more.</p>
