My MAcc program isn't particularly highly ranked, but I'd be weary of going to a MAcc and expecting great placement. Most of the people (including those who attended top schools) I know who got Big 4 jobs and went to a MAcc were actually recruited before starting the grad program. Most interned at the Big 4 firm during the senior year, and then entered the MAcc with a job and start date already in place.
All the Big 4 and second-tier recruiting at my school recently has been for students in the five-year program (undergrad/MAcc). Recruit junior year for senior year internship (spring 2011) that will likely lead to a 2012 (post-MAcc) full-time position.

Nothing is guaranteed in life. It depends what your expectations are if you want the big 4 and don't get then its a bust. I used to want it in undergrad but now I dont feel like it, I dont want to work those kind of hours. I have a friend who is a big time auditor for 3 yrs and hasnt passed the CPA. I feel thankful for doing it now.
Bottom line, I have no where else to go but a MACC program or quit accounting because no one is giving me another chance.
I can't beleive people still want to do accounting and live this kind of life.

There are a lot guarentees in life. One of them being Big 4 jobs. It is not particularly hard to get. You need to be a little more positive my friend. When I got laid off, I didn't have a single worry in my mind.
