Need a suggestion.
I graduated this year and was supposed to go for MAcc in the fall. I deferred to next year due to economy and chose to work for a year. Now, should I still go for MAcc next year or do an MBA instead if get admitted to Darden or Kenan-flager?
FYI- was going to UVA for MAcc.

MBA 100% no question, MaCC is useless, you can get the 150 credits required for a cpa with an mba.
Also those are t15 mba schools, so you will have a larger variety and better job opportunities.

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

I keep getting contract offers on LinkedIn (think self-employed consultant). The rates seem really good ($120-$150/hr). I have around 5 years exp and a CISSP.

Anyone did it? Any feedback?
