[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why UVA is switching to a three year program. Makes perfect sense. https://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2023/09/commerce-school-introduces-three-year-program-largely-garners-student-support[/quote]

Thank you for referencing the exact article I was talking about which states, "While Morris said he cannot predict how the curriculum change will change the competition between applicants in gaining a spot in McIntire, he said he hopes it will encourage more people to apply."

My point exactly. Why do the want more people to apply to McIntire when they are already rejecting half of the applicants. Why not just do direct admissions to the business school if the are touting this new 3-year curriculum as being a benefit for the kids? Just give them a 4-year curriculum. That is my point. Read the article carefully like I have already when made my post.[/quote]

Becayse McIntire is a two-year program, now moving to three. There is no discussion about a four-year program. You simply want a four-year program because you want your kid to have a lock first year.  That’s not how it works for more prestigious programs. UVA was the best, seasoned serious students in this program. They don’t have to take any high schoolers so they don’t. They want to evaluate after a year or two of college, if you don’t like that go find a school with a lock, but remember that 80 percent of students change their major at least once so perhaps, just perhaps, UVA is smarter than you in this regard.[/quote]
