Virtually all the BMG studens who take the cpa are enrolled in a night program in Farleigh Dickinson University. While BMG certainly has many smart students, the primary reason BMG placed #1 in New Jersey is due to a combination of small sample size (probably 20 test takers out of 6,000 students in BMG) and the seriousness that the students have for the accounting class (most of the students who take the cpa are married and need jobs to support growing families asap).<br />Chaimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971960169570548505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-30870040162218654472016-07-19T08:02:59.561+03:002016-07-19T08:02:59.561+03:00in 2014 the #1 cpa first time passing school was B...in 2014 the #1 cpa first time passing school was Brookdale Community College.

They either take a course or self-study after leaving yeshiva, or while in yeshiva (to give them the benefit of the doubt - on their free time, not on yeshiva time as you implied). But these are not college courses. So the only college they've been in is BMG (which is accredited by the State of New Jersey). That's why they list BMG as their school. JSnoreply@blogger.com
