I heard a rumor W&M is considering making Mason direct admit so I imagine UVA will follow if so[/quote]

Highly doubt UVA cares much what W&M does.[/quote]

Plenty of people who apply to both for business. McIntire and WM Mason are both sub 25% acceptance rates currently meaning a lot of people who are very set on studying business may get turned down. UVA isn't going to want to risk losing students to W&M who might want that guarantee. [/quote]

I thought they were closer to 50%.[/quote]

I've been going off the Poets and Quants numbers since W&M officially uses that one on it's website - assume UVA's is also correct.

The admission rate for enrolled students applying is around 50%.

Poets and Quants is trying to compare schools that direct admit with those that don't.  For schools with direct admit, there is obviously one admission rate.  For schools that don't, two admissions are required (to the college and then to the business school).  I believe Poets and Quants uses the product of the those two admissions.[/quote]

The admission rate for enrolled students is now ~40%, the 50-60% is from when you applied at end of second year for a third year start. In 2025, admission to McIntire was changed to apply at end of first year, which reduced prerequisites and therefore increased applicants. A very strong GPA is needed, but not a guarantee since it’s holistic [/quote]

This article has it at 50%.  https://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025/03/the-business-of-a-competitive-major-program

Regardless of that, I was just trying to explain that Poets and Quants typically reports a lower rate for schools that are not direct admit.  They are factoring that you have to be accepted twice.[/quote]
