Business is the #1 major kids want to pursue in 2026, so the admit rate for business keeps dropping everywhere. I imagine it will drop more this year for the Commerce school. I believe the numbers have gone from a 60% admit rate to a 40% admit rate in just 2 years. In previous years, there was clearly a lot of institutional priorities being considered (FGLI/DEI).

Probably a 30% internal acceptance rate to Mcintire this year.  10% external in-state acceptance to McIntire for transfers, 5% external OOS rate for transfers. [/quote]43% internal acceptance rate[/quote]

I bet it is lower this year.  The Intro to Comm and Micro classes were larger than ever. I think 2500 kids out of 4000 freshman took them. [/quote]

So more than half the entire class wants business? My DC has turned down many direct admit business schools for UVA. He is really confident about getting in, but I am very, very nervous. I imagine the spots are evenly split by gender. By the time you find out it in June it is too late to transfer to another university. I really wish UVA was direct admit and that they expanded the commerce school so more kids can get in. [/quote]

In my view, UVa's Batten (public policy), Data Science, and McIntire (Commerce) schools all ought to be real 4-yr schools inside the university with each having direct admissions.

Batten should have some academic departments moved into it (e.g., government). Data Science school should have at least CS and Statistics moved into it.

Note well that such a change would not prevent students in A&S from taking some courses or having a minor from those relocated departments. Already, people in A&S can take CS courses - even though CS now is in the E school. E School students already have their Math courses taught by the Math department which happens to be in A&S.
