How to?

Any advice would be appreciated:
I graduated from an Ivy 3 years ago phi beta kappa, dicked around for that period (applied and got into a few top 14 law schools but decided law isn't for me), and now am interested in getting a big4 position for a future investment management job post MBA/CPA. I hear that accounting is a great background for these positions. Since I didn't take any accounting courses in undergrad, i need to either get a MAcc now or complete the courses in some other way.
I was thinking about completing my course requirements at GA State (my local univ) but without getting the MAcc (too much time). According to their website I would be eligible to get a CPA in GA. My question is would a Big 4 firm be willing to hire me without the MAcc? (considering my undergrad resume but also the fact that GA State isn't the best school). I'm assuming I would get hired due to the high demand but was looking for other opinions. Thank you. |

PwC recruits actively from Georgia State. With that said, most of the recruits are in Beta Alpha Psi, which is only open to Accouting and Finance Majors. If you really want in, you need to seriously consider getting the MAcc or and MBA with a minor in Accounting and joining BAP will you do so.
