Hi there,
I am a senior accounting major at Michigan State. Currently I have got offers from the two programs mentioned in the title.
As of now, I prefer the offer from Miami. Firstly, every year PWC come to MSU campus, I attend; and every year, they address students the importance of data and IT in today’s business world. As I aspire to work for the consulting/advisory branch at one of the Big Four firms, I think it is a good idea to get some education regarding data science and IT. I think knowledge of handling data and an accounting background combined will make me a competitive job market candidate in the future. Secondly, a generous amount of scholarship comes with Miami’s offer, increasing the program’s cost-benefit performance.
On the other hand, many of my friends encouraged me to choose the MAcc program at Ross, stating that its reputation alone, from a long-term perspective, will beat all the advantages of the MSBA program at Miami mentioned above.
I really cannot make a choice right now, so I decide to post this to see what you guys think. I will certainly appreciate your advice!
