How would a W affect my chances at big 4/MAcc

<p>So I am looking at getting my Macc to fulfill the CPA -150 requirement. So far I have 3 W's and 1 P/F. I'm currently a sophomore btw. Will this hurt me in any way come senior year?</p>

<p>Would you hire someone who has 3 W's on their transcript to be an accountant?</p>

<p>I would, 'cause that's better than straight W's from most prospective accountants these days. Lol.</p>

<p>That wasn't even funny man, seriously.</p>

Wow... Btw, the W's had legitimate reasons behind them, and had nothing to do with my major.</p>

<p>i don't see it hurting in any way for getting a job, but it would've hurt when you applied for a Macc program and the W's were in accounting/math/statistics/etc courses. if not, i think you're fine.</p>

<p>Many times, a hiring company will not ask for a transcript and this especially applies to big 4 firms. Now they can ask and sometimes do, so be prepared.</p>

<p>W's really are not a big deal, no matter the number. However, an F can be troublesome. But as long as they are made up, you finish strong and you have a strong reason for that F then you should be fine. MAcc programs arent exactly that competitive and the rankings/prestige mean little to nothing. You are taking that program to get a job and/or get your 150 credits. Nearly every college will have big 4 recruiting, even the seemingly "crappier" schools.</p>
