2012 MAcc Admissions Thread - Calling All Applicants!

First time poster here.

GPA: 3.3 undergraduate in science, 3.5 graduate in business
GMAT: 600

Schools Applied
University of California, Davis (new program this fall 2012) - Interviewed, will be receiving notice this week. *UPDATE* admitted to UCD. I'd consider going here if they give me a significant scholarship package, but that's unlikely..
University of Southern California - Accepted, no scholarship. Any ideas on how to finance my education? I'm assuming the reason why I did not receive any scholarship $$$ is probably because my GMAT is not too competitive compared to some of the other posters here. Do MAcc students receive federal grants or loans only? Thanks.

Good luck to you on UVA, waterwater. If not, apply earlier and keep persisting. You will get in for sure, eventually.

Congrats on the USC admit. I will be going to Boston College. Unfortunately no federal pell grants are available for grad students. You will have to rely on loans.

Thank you Agentforce. UVa said that they will release their decision by Mar 1st, which is only 2 days left. Finger Crossed. Anyone who applied to UVA in Feb round heard back from UVa?

Just rejected from UVa.

Hopless. Only BC left.

.

I thought you said you did not apply to BC?

I applied to BC and U of R on Feb 1st.
How about you guys?

My fault. You pretty much nailed it, great school and business program but it is very new and since U of R is not known for Accounting, employers like the big 4 are not loyal to grads there. Is there a certain location you would like to work?

I have an admit at BC and your stats may be enough to get in but it is very late and that means maybe only one or two spots are available and it's really competitive being that it is an excellent program. Feel free to pm me as I have applied to about a dozen schools for the msa for the fall.

For all the USC acceptees with scholarships, how did you find out if you got a scholarship from USC?

Information about my USC scholarship offer was included in the email I received regarding my admissions decision.

Major: Journalism
Experience: Assistant to Chairman of a futures brokerage company over three years.

Applied USC and UC Davis today.
Waiting reply

Hello all, it's been a while since I last posted. I've heard back from all three schools so I figured I'd update my status for future classes.

UNC: Accepted with $$$
Bentley University: Accepted with $$$
University of Pittsburgh: Accepted with $$$

Good luck to everyone else who is still deciding!

Update: I will be attending Bentley University in the Fall. Although it was a tough decision, the amount of aid I received from them, along with their outstanding career services/placement rates made it the best choice to pursue my graduate education.

Applied to UNC Kenan-Flagler MAC last week. Just offered an interview this morning (already!). Any tips? I can't wait to be in Chapel Hill next week!

Undergrad: UNC Chapel Hill
Major: English
GPA: 3.16
GMAT: 680

Accepted at Wake Forest MSA with 50% scholarship. Will start summer classes in May!
I decided not to apply anywhere else after I heard back from Wake, although I did have applications started for UNC, W&M, and George Washington. I just like their #1 CPA pass rate and the emphasis placed on the second semester internship, so I think Wake is right for me.

Anybody else heading to Wake next year?

Hi there! I'm also an english major (and econ minor) and I've been accepted to Wake as well! I received a 25% scholarship but I'm not 100 percent sure if I will be attending since I'm waiting to hear back from another MS in Accounting program
