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]
Plenty of them will realize that aren't interested in McIntire because of those classes, but still, where is your source for 2500 taking foundations of commerce?

I see 5 sections currently:

Section 1: 146 total students
Section 2: 156
Section 3: 149
Section 4: 147
Section 5: 115
713 total[/quote]

In the fall semester, the requirement most take first, Principles of Micro, had ~1000 total across 5 large lectures and also broken up into loads 20-person discussions.

Obviously, there are people in there who aren't interested in McIntire. [/quote]

No, you can take Foundations of Commerce fall or spring of freshman year.  My freshman took it in the fall (concurrent with micro but you can also take it before micro--they're independent classes) and the classes are larger in the fall.

Fall 2025 sections: 
165, 162, 163, 161, 161 = 812

Spring 2026 sections: 
146, 156, 149, 147, 115 = 713

or 1525 total.

The only reason anyone takes this class is as a pre-req for Commerce.  Of course not all end up applying.  [/quote]

So not 2500. Thank you! [/quote]
