USC has an entire school just for accounting (Leventhal). It's listed as within the school of business (Marshall), but it is essentially a stand-alone school of accounting... very rigorous classes, highly competitive, and heavily recruited from by the big 4 firms.

Every ranking I've seen has consistently ranked UT-Austin as the #1 Accounting school for undergraduate studies.

after having lived in TX, i would agree they have hot white girls, but for those like me that are into asians, the selection is pathetic compared to so cal, which also has plenty of hot white girls just in case your tastes ever changed

Trust me on this: it doesn't matter which accouting school that you attend. There is such as dearth in accountants that any accredited school will do. HOWEVER, what does matter are your overall GPA and GPA in your major. If you have a higher overall GPA ( at least 3.4+) and at least 3.5 in accounting related courses, you will have multiple job offers.
