<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am a UIUC senior and I’m considering two schools for master program on accounting. UIUC and WFU.
UIUC has a very good reputation on accounting, but it’s not easy to get a job after graduation as an international student.
Wake Forest has a very good job placement rate and it offers internship opportunity. Its CPA passing rate is the highest in the US. But WFU ranking on accounting is not good. :frowning: I’m not sure if this is a very important factor to consider for choosing a graduate school. Will employers care a lot on rankings?</p>

<p>Can anyone give me some advice?
Thank you so so much!</p>

<p>Don’t worry about the ranking for Wake’s program. The simple facts speak for themselves. You’d be studying in a brand-new, state of the art building (Farrell Hall), be attending the program with the highest CPA pass rate in the country, and would land a great job after college. Those are the simple facts. Why then are you concerned about an arbitrary ranking? I say Wake, all the way.</p>
