Hi, all
I have heard many good things about this forum and noticed that there are lot of warm hearted people here willing to help struggling people like me. I got a question regarding my chances for some of the MSA programs.
I graduated from Southern Methodist University and Obtained a BBA in Accounting. My GPA is 3.442. I took my GMAT this summer and got a 660 (Q 49 V 33 AWA 5, no plan to retake at this moment)
My dream school would be UIUC. (I consider my odds for UT Austin is lower than UIUC and I will not bother applying)
I also have thought about Boston College, Michigan State University, UNC Chapel Hill, Texas A&M and maybe University of Florida. Some of my friends suggested Baruch. According to them, it is also a good accounting school. I have also heard of Notre Dame.
Here are some of my other background
I have half tuition scholarship when I was in SMU and I got the 2009 anual minority academic award.
I have been working for a Dallas-based firm for a year now since graduation as a government contract manager. I did an accounting internship back in Dec, 2008 for Shanghai Weili Pump (they are a subsidiary of the S&P 500 Dover Corp.)
Would any of you please help me? Any tips and feedbacks are appreciated.
Thank you for your time reading this and have a great day.
P.S, Just in case you ask, I am not an international student.
