<p>Hey, I just wanted to know what type of GPA do you need to transfer in?
I want to be an finance major
Should I apply after Freshman or Sophmore year?</p>
<p>If you are applying to the actual UG school of business, McIntire School of Commerce, you have to apply during your sophomore year along with UVa students. Ive heard it is very difficult to get in to McIntire as a transfer since you are competing with Pre-Com UVa students.</p>
<p>You can try and follow my plan haha... I just applied as a transfer into the College of A&S (I am a college freshmen now). Then I will apply to McIntire after my sophomore year if I am admitted into UVa this year. I think we have a better shot this way....</p>
<p>another option that people don't think about too much for some reason, if you decide not to do mcintire but still want to do finance, you can be in the college and get an econ degree with a finance concentration -- its not really like a finance minor, just a different sector of the econ depart.</p>
<p>What if I apply to CAS for sophmore year
and then apply to mcintire with rest of the kids. What type of GPA do i need to get in after my freshman year?</p>
<p>What type of GPA do you need to get in after freshman year?</p>
<p>McIntire is so competitive, transfer GPA is 3.7-4.0. And I think a 3.7 is a stretch.</p>
<p>If i transfer after my freshman year wouldn't I have to go A&S so what do you need to get into A&S?</p>
<p>For finance in particular I've heard that doing well in the Financial Concentration in econ is much better preparation than going to McIntire (you get a lot more useful applied math and theory). GPA for A&S transfers varies on the difficult of your current instiution.</p>
<p>yea, i've heard the samething.</p>
<p>That is my plan Economics with concentration in Finance.</p>
<p>McIntire still kicks ass</p>
<p>there're toooo many econ major students, better students, in like northwestern, chicago.....every ivy league.....u have to fight for jobs</p>
<p>McIntire is great, but saying that econ majors are seperate when searching for jobs is not true. Many people in the financial (especially IBanks) and business world have their undergrad in econ.</p>
<p>i dont like econ b/c it's got too much theory crap</p>
<p>I'm going to be a freshman at Muhlenberg College this fall, what type of GPA do you think I'll need to transfer into UVA after a year. My HS stats go as 1250-sat score 3.4uw3.7w gpa and 4th decile. Toughest courseload with good Ec's.</p>
<p>I was accepted into McIntire with a 3.684 this year. Just mentioning that since technically that is below a 3.7. I was a journalism major at Ithaca College.</p>
<p>Was that after you first year or second?</p>
<p>Second. You can't apply directly to McIntire unless you are a junior transfer.</p>
<p>I mean I did have a lot going for me though. I had a 3.78 for midterm grades. My gpa in just math, accounting, and economics courses was 4.0 not counting midterm grades (I had a B+ in my calc ii course at midterms... it actually ended up being an A... if my stats class ends up staying as an A after finals, haven't received that grade yet, then I'll have a 4.0 for classes in those three subjects). I had a strong HS record. I think my essays were pretty good. I had a lot of ECs, and I did a good job of relating them to the business world. I also did a good job of explaining why I was switching from journalism to business.</p>
<p>Regardless, a McIntire transfer is possible. And you can have a 3.7 (or a little less and still get in).</p>
<p>From people I've talked to on CC, I think we were 3 for 4 on McIntire transfers (with the fourth person being waitlisted, but I could be mistaken). That is much higher than the actual acceptance rate whcih I believe is somewhere between 18%-25%.</p>
<p>This is kind of related so I'll just ask it here, how difficult is it for a student in the E-school, majoring in engineering, minoring in business, to apply for McIntire second year?</p>
<p>almost impossible? you have to take these courses b/f applying mcintire:
