<p>I have been accepted to Texas A&M’s MS Accounting program. Being that it is regarded as a top 10 MAcc program, what are the prospects of choosing the city in which you will work rather than working in the closest cities? </p>
<p>I know with the very top programs like UT, BYU, etc., it is supposedly very possible to work in pretty much any city you would like across the country. Would it be plausible, for example, for me to land a job in NYC or Chicago coming out of Texas A&M? I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in this situation. Thanks for any replies.</p>
<p>It is very possible even if you do not attend a “top” program. I know people who’ve gone across the country to Chicago/New York who have come from average MSA programs. </p>
<p>With that said, your chances probably increase if you attend a good program within the same state you wish to work rather than a top program on the other side of the country. Even if only because the partner who interviewed you on-campus will argue for you for their office (in-state), instead of you having to start from scratch with a new office and having to impress an additional round of interviewers without having anyone on your “side”.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. I agree it’s much easier to land a job in the same state, just want to gauge the chances of having other choices as well. Did the people you know have connections in these cities or simply reach out to those offices?</p>
<p>I have also applied to Baruch and am waiting to hear back from them which would leave me with a tough decision.</p>
<p>Anyone else have any insight?</p>
