I also received training of using SPSS and SAS. In addition, I received Master of Science Accounting Scholarship from the Chartered Accountants Education Foundation in my province.

I just want to ask if it is possible for me to get into dream schools like Booth, Columbia, UNC or Yale? Based on my profile, what are the best schools can I possibly get in? Right now, I am thinking about Pen state, Iowa, University of Pittsburgh, Utah, University of Houston and Boston College. However, I really want to get a try for some real big names and I am not sure if my current school lists are suitable for me.
Thanks a lot for whoever provides me some advisies and Merry Xmas for everyone!
