<p>Hi, I'm a prospective transfer who applied to Marshall. I'm hoping to pursue accounting. I have a couple of questions about the program.</p>

<p>What is the curve? I heard B+ is the average?
How hard is it to get a straight B or B-? Does anyone know the percentage of students that get below a B-? Do students who get around a 2.8-3.0 still have good a job outlook? (Big 4, Mid-Tier)</p>

<p>Right now I'm waiting to hear back after receiving an SGR, I got good grades so USC is looking like a real possibility (knock on wood). Just worried about the competition as I hear accounting students at SC study 24/7. I'm willing to grind it out but I'd hope getting B's, B-'s even a C here and there doesn't ruin any chance at getting hired.</p>

<p>I turned in my deposit to USD and think I could probably get better grades there, but USC's reputation is amazing...for example what's better? a 3.3 at USD? or 2.9/3.0 at USC? I could be selling myself short but just curious.</p>

<p>My humble opinion: I don’t think a 2.9/3.0 will get you a job at the Big 4. There will be people at USC with higher GPA’s that will more likely get the job. Not only that; you’re competing with people from other schools for those jobs. </p>
