[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is every bit as good as UTA for business. [/quote]

UVA McIntire is much better in fact.

The catch is you have to apply for the business program in 2nd year.
The acceptance rate to the program is around 55-60%

Big risk but it's much better than UTA.

I would not choose either for Business especially when UTA is OOS
People should know what they are talking about.

No one refers to UT as UTA.  I say this as a Texan and UT grad.[/quote]

+1. Don't take advice from anyone who refers to Texas as UTA. Ever.

OP, I would argue that they may be pretty equal. I graduated from Texas and loved my time there. It's a great school...but it is HUGE. If your child is not a self-starter, UT is not the place for him/her. I found it overwhelming my first year because I had spent my life in a small private school. The adjustment took a while. That said, the level of education, extracurriculars, diversity, and offerings were top notch.

Take ATX for what it's worth. When I was in school there, it was "weird". Now, it's the hype that is ATX. That can be good or bad but it is a booming metro area, very diverse, and quite expensive these days. I think anyone can find a space for them in the city. It's also hot as hades so that's something to consider.

If I lived in TX, I would send my kids to UT. However, I'm a VA resident so see no need because we have UVA. Visit both and have your kid decide.  Either would be a great option. [/quote]

It's actually refreshing to see a well informed response.[/quote]
