In Reply To: Depends on what school you are graduating from. If we're talking a well-respected public or private institution with a great regional reputation and tons of alumni at your target firm, you've hit the jackpot. Wouldn't want to be coming out of a third-tier this June. We are actually not visiting a number of schools we went to last year. In some cases, we're taking resumes in house. But that's only for #1 or 2 grads. Again, to reiterate: Large school/exclusive private w/ good rep+decent class rank=B5 employment not an issue. Anything less, and you're working the phones. Good luck. P.S.-If you're thinking of slacking off senior year, don't. We are making certain offers contingent on grades in remaining accounting classes.
Message: Is the Leventhal School of Acctng. seen as a "target school" with a good rep? Because of some hook-ups, i got a great shot at getting in, but I don't know a whole lot about the school. It probably has a good rep in california, but what about in NYC? I havent decided on trying to get into NYU (as an Econ major in the college of arts and science, not Stern)or USC as a Junior transfer.
