I think it has come down to these choices:
Moravian
Muhlenberg ( not yet accepted )
Cedar Crest
I want to go for accounting. Which one of these is best for that?
Which college do you feel is the best fit? What about finances? Cedar Crest is an all women’s college on the undergrad level. Are you fine with attending an all women’s college?
They all have the accounting major which (believe it or not) isn’t always the case.
In terms of rankings which are just a data point — not worth anything in the real world.
Money Magazine has Muhlenberg and Moravian fairly close (say 150 and 180 - close) and Cedar Crest a bit back. USNWR for LACs has Mulenberg as the higher compared to Moravian. Cedar Crest shows up really well in the regional college ranking and value ranking.
Muhlenberg seems to focus on making the accounting experience more intertwined within a liberal arts framework.
So they are all really nice schools. They offer the major and any can lead to the CPA designation - which is the more important long term designation.
Do you want a more focused accounting track or an accounting track as part of a wider ranging type course load?
Which is the most economical? As in a big difference. Any of these that requires you to take a loan versus no loan. Eliminate this school from the three. They are all excellent.
Which campus and vibe feels right ?
But since they all are so nice and if equally priced you really should follow your instincts.
Good luck!
Obviously cost is a factor.
if you want to become a CPA (you do), you have to have 150 credits so it will take 5 years most likely.
So Moravian, for example, has a 4 + 1 program for accounting where you get a masters degree too.
See what the others offer.

How many accounting students are there?
What % finish?
What % get jobs after graduation?
Where do students get jobs after graduation?
So Muhlenberg shows where some accounting graduates go, but doesn’t show what % didn’t get a job out of college.

The only other advice I have. Despite it being a perfectly lovely picture, I would swap out your avatar for something more anonymous. You never know and people can use your information for cyber crimes. They reverse engineer who you are and passsords etc based on info. And yearbooks and internet like Instagram to narrow things down. Initials in user names to get actual names too
@privatebanker thank you, will do
