[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a runner choosing btw UVA and UNC for XC/Track. Econ major ultimately looking for finance or consulting path.  A wise college coach told my older kid during a come to jesus moment frosh year - “your college experiences will allow you opportunities to focus on social, academic, and athletic paths - you need to choose two of the three, you can’t have all three” - if this is the same at UNC and UVA, which school provides the best two options?[/quote] UVA is better for business. Duke takes a lot of the best NC students, but UVA is the best option in VA[/quote]

LOL! Duke does not.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either and this is a great problem to have. OP said kid wanted Econ, not business. If it was business, neither UVA nor Chapel Hill have direct admits to the business school.

We do not need to rehash the ridiculous prejudice re NC kids and their intelligence or make claims that UNC students are dumber bc of the high, state mandates in state 82% minimum. Every UNC thread turns into that and it seems like there are 1 or 2 posters fixated on this theory and hijack threads.

The schools are different. I went to both (Chapel Hill undergrad and UVA grad). I was an OOS Econ major at UNC, they have a fantastic Econ department. I am sure UVA does too. While I am sure UVA alumni network is strong, the UNC network (esp the athlete alumni network) is incredible. If your kid is going to be a division 1 student athlete, I would also focus on that.
