<p>First time posting on this site, but have read some great advice from people on here for a while now. Just had a few questions about accounting and GPA and would love some input. </p>
<p>So a little background on me, currently in my last semester of community. I'll be transferring to CSU Long Beach in the Fall majoring in Accounting. Never was very serious about school until recently when I stopped partying so much and started using my brain. I'll most likely be leaving community with a 3.2 provided I do well in my remaining classes. I'm fairly confident I can do well in my remaining years. And no matter what I plan on getting my CPA certification. </p>
<p>So my questions are:</p>
<p>1) Is there any chance of getting interviews from any of the Big4's if I get perfect grades at CSULB? I was told by the administration that when i go to CSULB I will have a completely new GPA. Are the Big4's going to factor in my community GPA as well? (I know that they do some recruiting at Long Beach but not sure how much)</p>
<p>2) If option 1 (Big4 out of undergrad) doesn't pan out, is getting a Masters of Accounting at say, USC (or something equivalent) a good way to get a second crack at a Big4?</p>
<p>3) I know that a Big4 isn't the be-all end-all in Accounting, so if I was accepted into a top business grad program would that be a better option than going straight to the work force after my bachelors. And what are my chances of getting into a top business program? I heard most schools only look at your last 60 units completed. </p>
<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated. </p>
