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.

Depends on program of study and where you live.
DD got into UCLA and UVA. I told her she had to convince me UCLA was $160,000 better than UVA. She couldn’t. Same would be true to UT.
If there was some specific program of study that was uniquely offered at the other school I would have considered it.
How did calculate UCLA is 160K more than UVA

They are very different. UT is HUGE and Austin (for worse, from my perspective) has become a big city. If a kid goes to UT, they need to be a self-starter and need zero hand-holding.
From an academic perspective, I'd choose UT over UVA for business, science or engineering. They amount of money they've spent on labs recently is stunning. They also have a great communications department. For liberal arts, I'd pick UVA.
Socially, UT is so big that you can find your people there. There's a bunch of people in Greek life at both schools, but it's a relatively small proportion of the population at UT, so it's probably less important there vs. UVA.
In case you're not aware, only 10% of the student body can be from OOS at UT, so the OOS admission rate is in single digits vs. 15% OOS at UVA.

Both are fine if you are male + Republican. Think twice if you are female.

Both are great. I have direct knowledge of both. If you are a state resident, go with that one.
