A MACC will land you with WAY more accounting possibilities and teach you more information to prepare you for the CPA exam than the LSUIDL.
IDL is just great because it is so damn cheap.

Alright. Generally speaking, your options fall into a couple of categories:
A) B4
B) Regional/local audit or tax or advisory
C) local tax
D) Big corp cost or tax or IA
E) Local corp cost or bookkeeping
If you want to work at A, B, or D, you need to go to a MACC to be able to get interviews. If you are cool with C or E, you can probably manage that without going through a MACC and just doing your own digging.

Ditto. Campus recruiting is a must for a,b,d.

Wow. Not the answer I expected or wanted to hear. I had planned on enrolling in IDL and networking my way to a fulltime B4 position. Turns out my assumptions and plans were a little off.
One more question: Suppose I get my MACC in Mississippi. Will that decrease my chances of landing a job in LA?

B4 is almost solely through campus hires. The only way to get an interview otherwise is if you have a major in (like partner level).

Yes. For example, at Ole Miss Memphis and Jackson recruit it hard. You could ask them to contact a LA office for you but they are not always willing. In some cases, it can be the difference between you getting an offer or not for the city recruiting you. They want people that want to live in their city.

If you want to work for a B4 in BR or NOLA, you need to go to LSU or UNO (or Tulane) and do a MACC. Bottom line man.

Google Wallet moving forward:

If Google gets a 6-12 mo. or so jump start on Apple with this functionality, I could see it bringing Android devices more switchover business.
When Consumer A sees Consumer B ahead of him in line use his phone as a quick and easy payment method, he will want the same. The "visibility" of this application, apart from just its functionality, are what will drive consumers to it, in my opinion.

Another question:
Is there anything I can be doing now to prepare for full-time interviews in the fall? For instance, would it be helpful to start practicing some form of case studies?

I mean it wouldn't hurt, but I doubt you will encounter that.
Posted on 5/26/11 at 2:19 pm to LSUlunatic
I'm on my phone but I'll give a longer answer later.
You probably won't have case studies for an audit or tax position. Only advisory or consulting does that.
Read an interview book and know how to answer questions like:
Name a time when you were proactive
Tell me a time you worked in a group
Tell me a tough situation you faced, what you did, and what came of it
How do you define success?
What is greatest failure. What did you learn from it?
What would your friends say about you?
Define yourself in 3 words
"walk me through your resume"
.
.
.
The list continues....these are quick one to think about that popped into my head

Creating a rapport and being confident gets you 85% of the way. A truer statement could not be said.

Yeah do what he said.

About to start looking for a book/studying for the GRE. Haven't taken a standardized test since the ACT 5 years ago (made a 29).
Is it hard?
how much time should i study for it?

Why the GRE?
Posted on 5/26/11 at 5:53 pm to Volfan996
It's not hard relative to the GMAT or the LSAT, that's for damn sure.
Posted on 5/26/11 at 5:56 pm to LSUtoOmaha
I have heard it is a glorified SAT. What I am really trying to figure out is if I can get by with studying for 3 weeks or if it is like the LSAT and requires much more preparation. I took the practice LSAT at UT and did fairly well on only 4 weeks of moderate preparation, but it was only the practice.
grad school at UT, M.P.A

Never took the GRE, but it's supposed to be the GMAT without the hard quant (read the only hard part).
Just a question: what do you want to do with an MPA?
