[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your daughter or son is at UVA, do they plan to apply to Mcintire? Or would love to hear from someone whose [b]child stayed with economics as a major [/b]and what job they have now. Thank you![/quote]

Not quite what you are seeking, but my kid was a UVA Econ major and studied under[b] Ken Elzinga [/b]who wrote her LOCs to Oxford for grad work in Econ. She’s going to a T3 law school to study law & Econ and perhaps become a professor. She had many friends in McIntire. [/quote]

Write Dr Elzinga before you go and ask to visit him on campus. He did for my kid. You’ll never meet a kinder man. [/quote]

[b]I think he taught his final classes this fall!  I think taught there for 70 yrs. [/quote][/b]

That would be difficult since he got his PhD in 1967. I just saw him at church and he said nothing about teaching his last class. But pp
is right - I bet he would meet with the applicant.[/quote]

My kid was in this class in the Fall. Elzinga is a legend but my kid also liked McKay and made it to office hours for both of them to get some one on one time. I had Elzinga when I was there in the early 90s. He's one of a kind!

When we toured Northwestern, it really struck my student how they did not have an undergraduate school of business -- what they said on the tour was that Kellogg doesn't want them to. They want their undergraduates to learn about the stuff they will be doing business in/with. I like UVA offers a first year experience to try things across disciplines to determine if McIntire is a potential path for them or not.

From what I have heard and seen, there are plenty of non McIntire success stories out there -- also, there is a Comm Minor which has been gaining popularity. Give the opportunity to take McIntire classes but not have to commit to the entire program.

Ok, so just shy of 60 years, not 70.

He tag-team taught micro this fall. It was told to the kids or inferred that the guy teaching with him (McKay) is his replacement. [/quote][/quote]
