Master of Science in Accounting, Saturday program?

<p>Does anyone know anything about the Master of Science in Accounting program, especially the Saturday program? How hard is it for someone without a background in accounting to get admitted?</p>

<p>Is work experience a requirement for admission? What about the completion of introductory accounting courses? Is an interview required?</p>

<p>Also, how time-consuming and challenging will the program be? Is it a good idea to work full-time while completing the program?</p>

<p>Say I submit my application by February 15th. When will be the earliest date that a decision can be reached? I ask because this is the only school that I am applying to, and I may need to apply to other schools if I don't get in.</p>

<p>My final question is regarding the personal statement. How should I address my lack of an accounting background? What's the best way to explain my sudden interest in accounting? Is there a way to make the personal statement interesting, instead of just listing qualifications and reasons?</p>

<p>Many thanks!</p>
