Well, the getting the application done part is over, that's what was causing me stress at the moment. I know that I have at least a month before I know whether I'm in the program or not.

And I do have a year before I'm actually done with the program. Oy.

Congrats! Are you doing a one-year program?

I'm following a similar path, I'll get my MPAcc next June, and I'll either get an MBA straight after or go work; at the rate I'm going I'll probably just work full-time for three years (getting my CPA and CMA in the process) before going back for my MBA.

you actually need a master's to meet the new 150 credit hour rule to become a CPA. this 150 credit hour rule is valid in 48 out of the 50 states

Not at this point in my career, I'd rather focus on the accounting aspect of it and get some experience in consulting, work for a while. The desire is still there, but I'm going to put it off for a significant amount of time for now.
