<p>My goal is to get a CPA license and work at a public accounting firm. My current top choices are UCI and USC, because I llive in OC and I'm not a big fan of UCLA/UCB.</p>
<p>Couple days ago, I was accepted to UCSB econ & acct
program, but.I dont really know about their program.</p>
<p>If I have to decide between UCI Bus admin. and UCSB, which would be a better choice?</p>
<p>Also, do Big 4 and mid-tier acct firms strongly recruit at UCSB?</p>
<p>UCSB is a major target school for all Big 4 accounting firms. Lots of mid-tier firms also recruit from UCSB. There are several big events both for internships and full time employment during the year. </p>
<p>The accounting association at UCSB is very active, with guest speakers and events. I don’t know much about UCI or USC’s accounting programs.</p>
<p>Heres a link to the UCSB accounting association website: [University</a> of California, Santa Barbara - Accounting Association](<a href=“http://www.econ.ucsb.edu/~aawww/aaonline/]University”>http://www.econ.ucsb.edu/~aawww/aaonline/)</p>
<p>You can actually look at all the firms that recruit, and events, membership info, etc.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Thank you so much! I’ll definitely check out the link as soon as I get home.</p>
<p>May I ask your GPA? I’m still waiting for UCSB. I’m applying for the same major as you.</p>
<p>UCSB def ha a good Econ Program. I wanna work for Deloitte one day so i was excited about getting into UCSB</p>
<p>My GPA is 3.94. (Not very strong EC/above average (IMO) personal statements - but I heard UCSB doesn’t look at personal statements)</p>
