[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best approach would be a face-to-face talk with McIntire admissions/administration. You don’t want UVA, you explicitly want McIntire. If that’s not possible, you’re not interested. You need to make a good case for the transfer, and it can’t be the prestige and the outcomes. Everyone knows that, but it’s too raw. After all, UVA is a university first, not a money printing machine.

Instead, make the case that McIntire offers something you have committed yourself to (demonstrate your interest through things you’ve actually done) that W&M doesn’t offer. Basically, you need to show that you’re both qualified for McIntire and that the transfer is merited on academic grounds. [/quote]

Which is actually kind of hard to do because W&M has an excellent business school too.  So is there a niche aspect of business that your DC is interested in that W&M doesn't have?[/quote]

Various ways to do it. You want to study with a particular professor (and mean it). You want to take advantage of one of their superb study abroad programs. You want to be a finance god, and they have one of the best undergraduate programs (they do). [/quote]
