<p>How is McIntire's grad school placement? </p>
<p>I read on Wikipedia how UVa had one of the most represented undergrad universities at Columbia's business school. Don't know how accurate this is as no citation was provided.</p>
<p>You should be more concerned about McIntire's job placement (it's excellent). I'm assuming that by "grad school" you mean MBA programs, so McIntire doesn't have much to do with it. Students rarely enter MBA programs directly out of college. In fact, most good programs are populated almost entirely by people with 4+ years of quality experience. If I were you, I'd worry about getting a job with a hot firm out the gate and worry about getting an MBA if you ever actually need one.</p>
<p>I know that UVa is great at placing people into ibanking firms. If I do decide to go back and get an MBA, surely colleges would look at not just my job experiece, but where I went for undergrad right?</p>
<p>If so would having attended a good undergrad business school such as McIntire be better than attending say Carnegie Mellon for Computer Engineering in the eyes of top MBA schools such as Harvard, Penn, Stanford, and Columbia?</p>
<p>Haha, no. Your work experience matters most in MBA admissions. Yes, your undergraduate education matters (and certainly matters for your first jobs), but not as much as you think. Also, there's a lot out there besides ibanking...lol. You should worry about this stuff in a few years. The MBA isn't a "destination" degree, anyway.</p>
