[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a double major at UVA (Bio-Chem, Econ). They didn’t go the McIntire route because they like the advanced financial theory and econometric coursework of the pure Econ w/Finance concentration. Some of required coursework for the com degree didn’t interest them, would have been unnecessary extra work and didn’t make sense with the intensity of the Bio-Chem coursework. Kid love’s the Econ department, profs are outstanding, and they are challenged in the best way.

They have many friends at McIntire and they love their experience, are getting great internships and will have many great opportunities. Same goes with the straight Econ degree, you really can’t go wrong.  If your kid doesn’t get into McIntire, it’s still a great program that will provide a great space to learn and offer great opportunities. Just now the strait Econ programs are very theory oriented and a lot of math.

Lastly, if your kid is drawn to Charlottesville and Grounds than they most likely have a great time there. This is my second there and they both loved every second of their time there. The University/Community vibe is outstanding. Good luck!
