[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year 1527 out of 3985 UVA first years (freshmen) took the pre-rec commerce class.  There are 365 spots for rising second year current students in McIntire.

So if all these kids apply it will be a 24% admit rate. They won't all apply so it will probably be somewhere in the 30s.  [/quote]

I don’t understand why they don’t make the commerce school larger than 365 students per year. Anyone have insight on why they don’t double or triple the commerce school? [/quote]

Probably because a liberal arts education is important and they don't want to ruin an amazing university by falling for this narrative that an undergraduate business degree is something everyone should get. They keep it selective and make it so that it is actually valuable to the small group in the program.

Seriously, go learn how to write and think critically in college and then get an MBA. The obsession with undergrad business degrees out there is insane. [b]Everything they are teaching you will be done by AI soon[/b], and you are missing out on the chance to intellectually better yourself and become good at analysis. Study philosophy, poli/sci, English, or something that provides access to important texts and theories and forces you to learn how to research, write, think, etc. Employers will be far more impressed. [b]Then get an MBA or a JD[/b]. I have worked at top law firms and with top executives for years--not a ton of undergrad business majors in those crowds. [/quote]

You can't believe AI will replace everything they are teaching BBA undergrads...and then in the same breadth encourage an MBA or JD...when nearly every headline these days is how AI is going to decimate the JD and MBA market (in addition to CS, creative fields, et al).[/quote]
