hehe, well, I appear as long as I get the "call" from Zenger.
For Master of Accounting, I think all these schools you mentioned are good. Ranking is not as important as you might be thinking. As a matter of fact, even you are in a so-so school, the door of BIG4 is still open to you. Well, a good school might make you get more interview opportunities; however, when you sit in front of the interviewer, nothing but your personality ONLY counts. I believe, as long as these schools are in the same tier, you will have the same academic training and have (reasonably) equal chance to be exposed to good employers. Location is a factor, but for Big 4 or other good firms -- now a lot of financial service firms other than auditing firms are recruiting Accounting major graduates-- such a factor is relatively negligible. Give you a hint. EY NYC headquarter will fly to Texas to do campus recruiting in Northen Texas University -- a good school, but not as good as OSU or ASU.
In other words, personally, I will consider the other factors more such as total expense, living enviroment etc.
I don't think it is very feasible to transfer from ASU to USC. For me, it is simply a means of wasting money and time. You only have 2 years (most likely), and you will have a lot of things to do. You should start to look for job -- get prepared -- from the very beginning of your study. I am not joking.
Last,I didn't check up the curriculum of the schools. The course structure should be the same. I would recommend a two-year program, as you can do an intern which I highly value during the first summer.
ALL I SAID IS MY PERSONAL IDEA.
