好MSA学校推荐

gentlesam

Thank you for MableChen!        

I agree that WE CHINESE SHOULD STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.        We should compete with other outstanding American students.        I believe that our root and future is in China anyway (not Big 4 in America), and most of us will return to China one day.        So, the reputation of the school you have graduated DOES count.        If you attend a top MAcc program at a well-known business school, you will also benefit from their broad network China, as well as in America.

谢谢大家给了这么多信息。

还有个很基础的问题请教几位，申请MSA对Gmat的成绩要求大概多少呢？比如zhuyieqing说的Suffolk University，gmat成绩大概需要考多少。刚考完，分数不理想，不知道是不是要重考。又听说申请过程中Gmat成绩不是那么重要。心理没底，所以想请大家给个意见。

谢谢

I am in the process of applying to MAcc, i did research on each of the top 50 business schools which offer MAcc programs.Based on my research, top MAcc programs require a GMAT score of over 610, but as we are Chinese, we should have at least 650 to be competitive.Other MAcc programs usually requires about 550.

As a Chinese, I believe that we all can achieve a GMAT score to apply to top MAcc programs.

Just add something to gentlesam’s opinion. A very average MAcc program requires as less as 500 and no work experience is needed (this is an advantage for coming undergraduates)!

从楼上两位的留言来看，不知道你们是不是已经在美国了？

从国内申请MAcc有一个相当大的障碍就是签证。前年，我的一个师姐申请到了UIUC的会计硕士，没有一点的奖学金，签证官看到写着费用$40,000就立刻据了她，因为他不相信一个中国人花了这么大的代价去美国念书（还是在美国毕业后容易找到工作的会计硕士课程）会真的一年念完后就回来，肯定留下来和美国人抢饭碗，至少得把在美国花的成本赚回来，否则回中国得多长时间才能赚到$40,000阿。

其实大家肯定都想申请排名又高地理位置又好的学校，但问题在于1.拿admission难，2.争取奖学金难，3.在全自费的情况下签证难。 我就只好退而求其次，找一些地理位置好但排名不好，或是排名好但地理位置不好的学校啦。suffolk 应该归于前一类吧。

这只是我自己的一点想法，拿出来和大家讨论讨论。我自己的情况是：本科国内还算是名牌的大学吧，专业会计，GPA3.7，GMAT 730，TOEFL647。不知道对于我的情况，大家有什么意见吗？我一定洗耳恭听！

I think you should try top MAcc programs based on your excellent stats, there is a very good chance for you to get in.  Autucally, compared with schools like Sunfolk, top MAcc programs will help you on the visa and they have more scholarships than small schools.  The tuition of top MAcc programs is not more expensive than the small ones.

当然top school 有他的好处。问题是大多数top school没有MSA。 UIUC的MSA 是#1的，但是他们又有地理 位置限制。

Along, 我觉得你的条件拿到Suffolk 的全奖没问题，也能拿到Top school的admission。建议你申请suffolk 做个backup，毕竟学费是我们不得不考虑的重要问题。

Thanks Vivianjin, I interviewed at DDT. The position is Auditing. A lot travel.

The interviewer said I have to work more than 60 hours per week. No paid overtime.

The entry level position salary begin $45,000

Gentalsam said 50-70k I think that was middle level position. Maybe, after more than four years, I can get like that salary.

谢谢  Zhuyieqing  and  gentlesam 的建议和指点   

还想请教一下Zhuyieqing MM:

Bentley 和Suffolk 之间又有什么区别吗？他们应该都属于地理位置很好但不属于top university吧？自己的一点点感觉，欢迎批评指教！

真心谢谢！祝Zhuyieqing MM考试顺利！工作顺利！

谢谢各位的解答。看来问题不仅在于申请，还在于签证。总听说如果申请人在美国对于申请成功很有帮助，但不清楚申请人的所在地和学校是否给offer或admission有什么直接关系，难道说学校会因为申请人不存在签证问题而给予录取的可能性就大吗？这个问题不知道是不是该在这个区问。想请前面的几位xdjm发表以下看法。谢谢！

祝大家都能如愿以偿
