The fact that you have passed the exam is a HUGE plus.  I would venture to say that unless you completely bomb your interview, which is highly unlikely, you will get an offer from this firm.  In fact, I wouldn't limit myself to just interviewing with this big 4 firm.  You are a coveted recruit in the eyes of all of the big 4 firms with your CPA already in hand so I would start talking with all of them. 


Probably a stupid question, but does having a certificate vs. a license matter all that much in the eyes of a big 4 recruiter?

As long as you are certified/licensed as a CPA with the AICPA, then nope.

Just wanting to make sure I understand the distinction between "certified" and "licensed."  Does "certified" mean one who has passed all sections, while "licensed" refers to one who has passed all sections, completed any requisite experience requirements, and has been licensed through a state board?

Thanks in advance for clarification.
