Dear DSparks,

Thanks for your note. I must admit, I am a bit confused. You mentioned that you are graduating this year and that you hope to pursue a Masters of Accounting - but then your question is about b-school admissions? Are you asking about your chances at the Accounting Master's programs or about MBA programs? Presumably you'd need to work for a couple of years before applying to b-school...

Despite my confusion on this, I will say that I think you are overemphasizing the undergrad-prestige factor. While your ugrad isn't well known, that alone will not sink your ship as an applicant to business school. It certainly looks like you've done well there - a 3.80 is excellent - and your GMAT is right around the average for admission to top programs, so I see no reason to be overly concerned about this. Obviously, if you had a 3.1 from a lesser known ugrad program, then you might be at a disadvantage - whereas someone with a 3.1 at Yale may be able to ovecome it - but that isn't the case here.

Best of luck,

Graham
