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]

Makes sense, although less than 50% odds aren't great still. I have heard of students at both schools transferring out after they didn't get into McIntire/Mason. If one school goes direct admit I would be shocked if the other doesn't follow pretty immediately. Definitely in competition for a lot of the same students and at least for those who go off of P&Q rankings they're not that differently ranked anymore. [/quote]
