UVA OOS vs full-ride?

My suggestion would be to work at one of those for a few years, and then should be able to get into an east coast MBA program and then work on the East Coast if that’s still of interest via the MBA. That is most logical to me.

What's the point of wasting your undergraduate years on a business major if you plan to get an MBA? That's a real philistine move.

It’s a pretty common route.

I think UVA compares very favorably to, say, Appalachian State or Towson State or Austin Peay State. But I'd think twice about paying out-of-state tuition to go there.

Nice troll. See what you did there.

This is the plan for a successful life. Doing well at an in-state flagship on a full ride will get you recruiting interviews at Big-4 Accounting and any 2nd tier consulting firm (which still pay well and send plenty of people to top-10 MBA programs).
