Insider Information for Prospective Students

Start here, go places

October 13th, 2009 · Careers · Posted by Keri Ledezma

“Start here, go places” sounds like a fabulous marketing campaign for the Texas MPA program, but it’s actually a very informative Web site that was created by the AICPA. I highly recommend visiting this site, particularly if you have a non-accounting background. It contains a wealth of information about accounting career options, including portfolios of real CPAs. One highlight is the “Building Your Future Me” interactive feature. After answering a series of questions, you will receive suggestions for jobs in the accounting profession that may be a good fit for you, as well as a plan for getting there.

    Hi,
    Those are great websites!
    I also have a question about the GMAT. How much does the writing score matter?
    I noticed it was not listed on the class profile.

    Thanks!

    Mitch,
    Great question - The admissions committee places greater emphasis on the GMAT total score, which is a combination of the verbal and quantitative sections.
