Hi guys! I have had my list of schools that I am applying to set for some time, and I have already submitted about half of them. I was wondering, what are some of the easier programs to get into? I wanted to apply to at least one "safety" school, and was looking for some insight. Thanks in advance!

What schools did you end up applying to and what are you stats.

I am also a non-undergraduate accounting major applying for the Fall 2017 term. Im applying to UT, W&M, Vanderbilt, San Diego State, University of Illinois- Chicago, and University Minnesota.

I consider SDSU or chicago my safety school, but I have no idea what to expect with these applications. I have a 3.4 gpa, history degree, 5 years work experience in analytics, and a 700 GMAT.

In order of ranking hardest to get into to easiest, I would think it goes: UT >Vanderbilt >Minnesota>W&M.

Seems like we are in pretty similar boats! I have a 3.55 and a 650 on the GMAT. I applied to William and Mary and South Carolina already and I am looking at schools mostly in the NC, SC, VA, MD area. I have also considered NC State, George Washington, American, UNCG, and UNCW.

We seem to be in the same boat as well....I just need to stop slacking and get back on it if I'm going to grad school. I started looking at school, but after moving...and then life happened, lol. I'm only looking at schools in NC though. I was looking at the same schools in NC, plus UNC. For me, the big things are 1- Will I get a job and 2- Where will I end up working. I'm looking at where the alums from these schools end up working too.

That does seem pretty similar! I am from NC so that is where I am trying to stay if at all possible. I did my undergrad out of state, and now I'm ready to be a little closer to home if I can. UNC is my dream school, and would like nothing more to go there. Their program really impresses me, and I think they do a really great job of marketing the curriculum to non-accounting majors. Is there somewhere in NC that you would like to go over anywhere?

@Gemini- those are the same schools I've looked at as well! Have you had a chance to speak with anyone about the online at UNC? I am really considering this because I still have to work while I go to school.

What are your thoughts?

I did speak to Allison on the website at UNC. They have this live chat thing that is pretty cool. I also talked to someone at NC State about their program....I wasn't impressed.
