Hi guys, just recently admitted to OSU Fisher’s MAcc program with full ride and stipends (~ 70k in value)

I was also accepted to Olin (WashU) Ms Accounting and Carlson’s MAcc program too. I just interview with NYU also, not sure if i will be admitted, but if it happens, not sure how those schools stack upon OSU Accounting program

Since I am international student, I do not know much about the market perception about these school. I heard a lot of kids in my school mention about Stern and Olin reputation, but Olin only promised to give part tuition (waiting for confirmed number) and NYU does not make decision yet, but I’m sure it is not a full ride.

If the difference in terms of quality between NYU, Olin and OSU Accounting department is not significant, it wouldn’t be so wise to throw 70k out of the window, i guess

Is OSU’s MACC program good in overall quality and reputation? I saw it on rankings but not sure about the future opportunity of its degree or how the real world U.S. employers think about it compared to the other options I have?

For more information: I am flexible to work in any city, it would be great if i can go to east coast, but it is not too heavily important. Carlson did not offer me any $$$.

Carlson: 43k tuition
OSU: 51k - waived
Olin: 75k
NYU 52k
