[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is going to UVA you really need to be ok from the start with a economics major vs. McIntire.  Mctire admit rate is now around 40% and there is a lot of behind the scenes stuff that determines that 40%--it's not just top grades.  There are athletes that get in with lower grades, racial and gender balancing, etc. Then they say that business clubs don't matter but they clearly do and admissions to the clubs are all just a massive "who you know" and in many cases have a 2-3% acceptance rate.

Econ at UVA has very good recruitment to Wall Street but you have to be ok with studying econ for 4 years.  The major has entirely different classes than McIntire and there isn't anything like marketing. You're studying......economics. Look at the courses for the econ major and see if they're things your kid would be interested in taking.  [/quote]

OP here. This is exactly what he didn’t like about UVA. It just seems like it’s become a brutal rat race for Commerce. [/quote]
Data Science is another great option at UVA.[/quote]
