I agree with the most of the board but there is something else to consider. In most states you must have 150 credit hours to sit for the CPA which means a MBA year. I believe both NY and Ma have that requirement. So in addition to the undergrad, you will have to get the 5th year. That is where the real location decision comes into play. Since you want to work in NY or Boston, that is where you should go to grad school. Most offices of the larger firms and in general recruit near their offices, so that I would go to grad school near where I want to work.

IMO UCONN undergrad would be the way to go, with stellar grades and then choice your grad school. UCONN has a great MBA program that includes a partial online option, but also at STORRS and i think W. hartford.
