Hey everyone,
I am about to enter my third year at UT Austin and I was recently notified I didn't get into the 5 year MAcc/MPA/BBA program here. For those of you that aren't familiar with the program it allows undergrad students to get their MPA and BBA degrees in 5 years without having to take the GMAT for separate admissions into the traditional MAcc program.
With this I need some guidance. My option only now is getting my BBA in Accounting but I am concerned because I don't know if its worth it. Moreover I am more concerned about my future prospects. Now that I am denied admission to the program I don't know if it is even worth to get a MAcc or even sit for the CPA exam since my ultimate goal is to enter corporate finance and possibly law school.
With this I was wondering is an MAcc worth it now considering my career goals and if so how would it work with my current situation? Would I continue my regular recruiting for internships and accept a full time offer or would I have to forge all of that and bank on the fact that I would have to get an MAcc and put all my money into that and risk it?
Any help and guidance would be appreciated
