<p>I heard binghamton has 95% of its students recruited by a big four</p>

2

<p>It does? Go there then. Who cares.</p>

<p>You’ll be really bored to death that one year there.</p>

3

<p>it mostly depends on where you want to work. usually you can’t go wrong with reputable state schools.</p>

4

<p>how’s Depaul sound?? Im interested in going there.</p>

<p>I go to DePaul in the Chicago at the moment. All of the top four accounting firms heavily recruit here for internships and full-time positions.</p>

6

<p>UT-Austin, UC-Berkeley, Virginia, Illinois, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Washington, apparently BYU</p>

<p>Recruiting accounting is mostly regional. Attending one of the top programs in your state/region will be a boost in recruiting. BIG4 recruits.</p>

<p>Is a very very top school a gamechanger when it comes to recruiting? Like UTexas, Uillinois, and USC? Like by how much do odds of a job increase if you are at one of those programs vs a BC, UF, Baruch?</p>

<p>For Miami": Would you rather be a Utexas grad or a UFlorida grad?
For Boston Big 4: would you rather be a BC or a USC/Utexas grad?
for new York big 4: would you rather UIUC/Texas or Baruch/Rochester?</p>

<p>UTexas, BYU, Notre Dame is better than BC for Boston Recruitment. I’ve seen it with my own eyes at 2nd round interviews. I also know this recent recruiting season Notre Dame kids were interviewing. They are clearly better schools for accounting.</p>

10

<p>i doubt texas, byu, and nd are better than BC in boston… i’ve heard otherwise… perhaps nd, but DEFINATELY not texas and byu.</p>

11

<p>You have no idea what you are talking about. UT Austin and BYU are interchangable rank #1-3 for ungrad and grad program.</p>

<p>@arajput23,</p>

<p>what are the admissions standards like? GPA/GMAT scores? Also, since I would be an out of state student, housing options? Thanx.</p>

<p>I agree with Dawgie, Ny0rker obviously doesn’t know much about accounting programs. UT has been the #1 undergrad accounting school for like 20 years straight and for masters, when it’s not #1 its because another great program like BYU is currently in that spot. Notre Dame is clearly much better than BC as well.</p>

14

<p>Texas is the #1 accounting school. But the large majority of the its graduates end up working in Texas. <a href=“http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/mpa/traditional/MPA_Fact%20Sheet08_4.FINAL.pdf[/url]”>http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/mpa/traditional/MPA_Fact%20Sheet08_4.FINAL.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>From what I’ve seen, there is a good amount of recruiting from the northeast, but it’s not as if firms from up there are going specifically down here to snatch up a lot of students. They seem to take only the best (especially for NYC). </p>

<p>The majority of the recruiting is still regional.</p>

<p>Yea it’s not like the firms are targeting them. But if there is any interested from the student, they have a great shot.</p>
