I need academic advice on what I should do after I finish my degree?

I am studying to be a CPA too and boy let me tell ya it burns ya out doesn't it with intermediate and tax and auditing lol! That's so cool though that we are studying the same thing. I would definitely say that you should still apply at a local school for your masters. You have nothing to lose and if you do get rejected lets say, then just retake those classes again to get better grades. One thing I never understood was how do they expect us to be ready for the CPA exam if after our bachelors we still need a masters to get the 150 credit hours. By then a year goes by and you forget everything. lol I'm hoping to get involved with Becker Review though when I get ready to sit. Good luck with everything! :-)
