Hello,
I have been doing research on getting an accounting masters after I finish my undergrad. I currently major in history with a minor in economics, and a GPA slightly above 3.0 (should be around 3.4 by the time I finish) and around 1.5-1.75 years left before graduation. I do not have any significant work experience except for working at the family business as a project estimator.
So here a few Q's-
Will being a history major hurt me when it comes to recruiting, especially with a Big 4 firm?
What kind of GMAT score would I need to be competitive for USC, UT-Austin, TAMU, or other peers of these schools?
Will a sub-3.5ish GPA and no WE hurt my admissions chances?

Hey jms1987,
Being a history major should not matter because you will be graduating with a masters of accounting degree.
You can check the averages for those schools on their websites. I believe USC is 650 and UTA should be around there, off of the top of my head I'd say 670?
A sub 3.5 avg with no WE shouldn't hurt you at all. Most schools don't expect you to have WE.
To give you an example, my stats are 3.4 with a 710 GMAT as an economics major. I got into USC and UTA, and I have no WE.
Good luck with the rest of your undergrad and let us know if you have any other questions.

One other question I have is on the required amount of classes to take the CPA examination. Since I don't major in business, should I try and take a few classes to catch up with, or will the MAcc catch me up sufficiently?
