Application Tips

1

Attend Meet the Firms events on campus — accounting recruiting is heavily relationship-driven

2

Be prepared to discuss your interest in audit vs. tax vs. advisory during interviews

3

150 credit hours for CPA eligibility is preferred but not always required for summer internships

4

Regional firms (BDO, Grant Thornton, RSM) often have later deadlines and less competitive recruiting
