[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all. She has a 3.4 from DC private. She did get in a highly regarded (atleast here on the forum). Has decent ACT, she is AA, 2 varsity sports, summer job, etc. i think she is a solid applicant. I just think (not being a college grad) that there would be so much more pressure at a smaller competitive college than say Va Tech…[/quote]

OP, I hear you. My DC had similar GPA at a DC Catholic school. Did not get into any reaches and ended up at a school ranked well below the top 100. Being a big fish in a little pond has led to many wonderful leadership opportunities. Accountants are well recruited from big national name brand firms even at lower ranked schools. [/quote]

Correct, but not for all divisions. If you want audit/assurance, then yes, many Big 4 accounting firms recruit at lesser known schools. Not so for consulting/advisory.[/quote]

Sure, on campus recruiting is convenient, but a motivated student can do her own search. That’s how my kid got an offer in IB. [/quote]
