<p>From which school at UVA did those friends transfer from? Penn overall is probably academically more competitive than UVA, but UVA is still a fantastic school, and the last I checked McIntire was considered a better overall undergrad business program than Wharton.</p>
<p>Like many have said, you can work your butt off in a class and not get an A. I feel like grades overall are somewhat relative to the course, the professor teaching it and the students in the class.</p>
<p>And on a side note: Hi Hazelorb 
Yep, near life long resident of PA, I live in the “beautiful” Pocono Mts…otherwise known as Little NY and NJ.</p>
