| Most of the older Virginia colleges didn't start adding air conditioning until the 1970s and are still updating as they build and renovate. I don't think UVA had any air conditioned dorms until Lambeth Apartments in the 1970s. O-Hill, McCormick Road, etc. were not air conditioned. They are in the process of being replaced and updated. JMU Village and older dorms have lacked A/C. Same at Virginia Tech. |
| Can anyone speak to how difficult it is to be accepted into the business school for an undergrad business major? |
+1 I'd like to know this too. One of the downsides of UVA for a kid who's interested in business is how hard it is to get into Commerce. Is the issue less fraught with Mason School of Business at W&M? |
W&M Mason is similar to UVA McIntire in that it is not a direct admit from high school. You apply in your second year at W&M. The profile below on Poets and Quants (probably the best online source on business schools) describes 212 applications and 136 admissions, which is a 64% admit rate in 2018. McIntire was 59% according to an online source I saw. https://poetsandquantsforundergrads.com/school-profile/college-william-mary-raymond-mason-school-business/ |
I should have added the URL where I found the McIntire information. https://www.commerce.virginia.edu/undergrad/application-process-uva |
You can also apply for an business minor in addition to major. |
Thank you! This is helpful! |
Interesting. In Poets and Quants UVA McIntire is ranked 2, W&M Mason 12, Richmond 25, Christoper Newport 44, JMU 73. https://poetsandquantsforundergrads.com/2018/12/12/best-undergraduate-business-schools-2018/4/ |
