[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of prestigious high ranking private schools that direct admit to their business schools, Upenn, Georgetown. NYU. Why is it that UVA doesn't? UNC doesn't either? Is it because they are state schools? Direct admit maybe something new. Is UVA behind in the times? People grow up so use to things being the way they are, they just accept a system that's flawed, when they should be questioning it and demanding change. Ultimately, UVA is a public state school.

U[b]VA doesnt need to do direct admit. It gets the best applicants by making them wait and show college grades. McIntire is ranked no 4 in the nation PoetandQuants[/quote][/b]

If you read anything about "business school direct admit" you will learn that the best schools do not have direct admit.  Michigan only recently adopted it.  Villanova has it.  But the top undergrad programs do not.  And why should they?  They want to see that set of first college grades to make sure the applicant can do the work and is serious.

If you want direct admit, then here are the 15 schools that offer it but with the exception of Wisconsin, Michigan and Purdue, it's not a strong bunch of  of schools. https://poetsandquantsforundergrads.com/admissions/direct-admit-business-schools/   Remember they are in a weaker position so want to glomb onto students via direct admit.  The more respected programs don't have to do that so they wait to see how the student fares first year (some schools also allow application second year, so they end up in a 5 year program - I think UVA offers that).

Remember that 80% of all students change their major.  Mine did! in a big way.  Most college counselors will tell you not to push locking in to any program.  Let your kid explore intro classes.[/quote]
