Why can’t you get into your schools accounting major? Do you not have the grades? Or do they only let a certain number in?

First of all, what are your states requirements for taking the CPA exam? If you want to be an accountant, that is what you need to consider. Second, if you cannot get that through your current schooling, you need to transfer. If you can get it through your current school but cannot get into the major because of limited numbers into the najor, you need to transfer. If you cannot get into the Accounting major because of your grades, you really need to consider another major.

The top four accounting firms and big regional firms are interested in strong recruits. Top grades, 3.3 or higher, well rounded ( clubs, extracurricular) and able to pass the CPA exam within 6 months to a year.
