First some info: My undergrad is NOT in accounting or a related field, I'm fresh out of college, I plan on going into corporate finance, and I lack the work experience for an MBA.

1. I currently want to work in Orange County, CA should I go to a local school like CSU Fullerton Mihaylo or should I go to a non local school, like USC Leventhal because Leventhal is more prestigious than Mihaylo or do the job prospects look the same because both schools are accredited?

2. Since I wanna practice corporate finance do I still have to take the CPA or should I take the CMA instead?

3. I have most pre reqs to go to apply to the Leventhal summer session (just need GMAT and a Financial Accounting class) If I take my financial accounting calss at a community college will that make Leventhal adverse to accepting me?
