[quote=Anonymous]What they don't tell you is that they're doing this because they want more applicants to apply to McIntire. They already reject 40% of the applicants that apply after 2 years. Now they want a larger pool of students to reject from? Also, they expect that because you'll be able to apply sooner, your high school performance will carry more than it did in the past. Then why not just direct admit already? It's also easier statistically to transfer into McIntire as transfer student than an undergrad there. They also use a holistic approach to entry, so if you look at the admission rates into McIntire, the GPA ranges from around 2.5 to 4.0. Who are the 2.5 GPA students getting in? Nothing about UVA makes sense. It's all marketing. The only advantage UVA has is the IBs and MBB recruit from there. But that's because it's more cost effective for them to do so, not because there's anything special about working here. You get paid well, but have very long hours. At that point, you might as well just become a doctor.[/quote]
