Hi, everyone!
I have recently been admitted to both Simon and Carroll for Accounting. Post-graduation, I plan to sit for the CPA and pursue a career in public accounting. I found a few topics from a few years back discussing Simon vs Carroll but I'm not sure how applicable they are to me since they were different discussing a different field and my situation is a little different.
From what I can tell, the big pro of Simon is the STEM-designated program. However, I'm not really sure how beneficial it would be for me as a US Citizen. Would it particularly stand out to employers? I should also mention that I received a scholarship from Simon but I am prioritizing my future prospects and education over financials.
Carroll has a locational edge with Boston being a better hub for networking and opportunities. However, another thread mentioned something about potentially having to sign saying that they are not responsible for placements. Could anyone elaborate more on that?
I think I am leaning more towards Carroll but further insight is definitely welcome!

Hi! Congrats on your admits!
Moving your topic to a better forum.
The STEM designation will be completely useless for you! It is only helpful if you are looking to get a work permit.
And yes, a year or so ago, a few schools came out with pretty ridiculous letters for admits that said they are not responsible for placement. Of course schools are not responsible for placement.
I am not sure what the MS rankings are for these programs. I can say Simon is much more finance heavy and advanced.... probably would be a good fit for someone thinking about Finance and CPA but I would get a better sense of how you are planning to use the degree.. .if it is just a stepping stone for a CPA, then perhaps you take the lower cost option.... but if you are serious about Finance/Accounting, I think Simon is a strong contender.

Hey, thanks for the reply!
Carroll and Simon seem to have pretty close MSA rankings from what I could find. That is interesting to note that Simon may have a superior finance focus. Definitely something for me to consider.
In regards to my plans, I'm hoping to work for a Big Four in financial statement auditing post-graduation. I'll be sitting for the CPA exam in NY and aim to work around the city. I vaguely remember reading that Carroll grads have higher than average pass rates on the CPA but I would need to double check on that. I suppose a pretty important factor for me would be career services and the recruitment presence of the Big Four at the schools.
