MacIntire School

<p>Let me see if I understand this correctly. Please correct me if I am wrong. You first have to get accepted into UVA and then at the end of your Soph year you have to apply to get into Macintire?</p>

<p>So does anyone know the acceptance rates (%) for getting into UVA out of state (Arizona)?</p>

<p>And then if you get accepted into UVA, how hard is it to get into the Macintire school?</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>The oos acceptance rate at UVA is 30%. Once you get in, you take the requisite classes for admission to McIntire (the comm school), and, if you've got a good gpa, you enter for your third and fourth years. I believe the average GPA for people accepted is around a 3.4.</p>

<p>for McIntire, thje acceptance rate is like 50%-75%, it varies year to year.
so 30% * 75% = 22.5%--->average chance of getting in mcintire out of state</p>

<p>umm, untilted, I don't know if i'd put it that way...</p>

<p>i agree...your math does not really make sense untitled</p>

<p>once you get into UVA OOS (30%), it is up to you to work hard enough to get a high gpa</p>

<p>if you are willing to put in the time, a 3.4 is attainable</p>

<p>if you really wanna go to uva, and mcintire, APPLY</p>

<p>yea, APPLY, seriously. McIntire's network is great, we beat a lot of better ranked business programs in recruiting because of our students' business ethics (UVa puts a LOT of emphasis on ethics in every field) and the fact that UVa kids know how to have fun..........u gotta know how to "play hard"</p>

<p>i know this is a uva forum so the support for uva is gonna be mad high, but which do think is better overall for business uva or nyu i'm debating over which one to apply ed</p>

<p>you assume that both are independent. i would have to say oos students as a group are probably stronger than instate students. thus the number wud probably be higher anyways.. but yea its up to u. also some kids know they won't get in so they don't apply even if they are interested.</p>

<p>tough call</p>

<p>if you are doing finance, NYU has a big advantage being located in NYC</p>

<p>However, I think the overall education is somewhat overrated at Stern due to the prime location</p>

<p>Overall, McIntire gets better recruiting and provides a better education experience....not to mention the college experience you get at uva as opposed to living in new york city (which is amazing), but no college campus or atmosphere at NYU</p>

<p>(ICE Core experience is a fantastic approach to business teaching...do some research if you are not familiar with it)</p>

<p>All in all, it comes down to preference and you will get a great job and education at either stern or mcintire</p>

<p>Personally, I'd rather come to UVA and get the stereotypical college experience (although I'd say UVA exceeds that in various ways.) You can always go to graduate school in NY (stern?), and if you want to work in finance/banking, you'll be living in a big city anyway. Take the opportunity to go to have a "normal" college experience while you can.</p>

<p>I Agree FULLY</p>

<p>lol DON'T CHOOSE NYU OR UVA JUST BASED ON UNDERGRAD BUSINESS</p>

<p>the 2 schools are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO different</p>

<p>NYU-big city school, private, no campus, artsy population, modern, not much school spirits</p>

<p>UVA-suburb school in a college town, public, beautiful campus with extraordinary historic significance, BIG ON TRADITIONS, preppy, LOTS of schoooool spirits, more fratty</p>

<p>visit both colleges, apply for the one you feel more comfortable attending.</p>

<p>do you have an objective, grounded basis for this or is this of course all your own opininion? Especially recruiting, because I never hear of UVA grads on wall street. never.</p>

<p>I have to disagree with sternman and agree with the other dude. I personally know a dozen UVA grads who went on to wall street so they do exist (and they are doing quite well).</p>

<p>you may disagree but from what I know uva is not well represented relative to schools like nyu</p>

<p>well yea.. nyu is in nyc giving stern students more access. but do stern students do better than other students once on wall street? i dont know.</p>

<p>"MacIntire School "</p>

<p>LOL, MACintire, HA.</p>

<p>"nyu is in nyc giving stern students more access"</p>

<p>No, it's the quality of students and program that gives stern students more access. ibanks aren't going to hire them just because they happen to be 3 miles away from wall street</p>

<p>partially true, but if you take NYU Stern and throw it in the middle of kentucky, you would not see nearly as many stern students among wall street</p>

<p>i agree with jaw. nyc definately helps its rankings. and the fact that its still not #1 over wharton is suprising, since wharton is in philly, where they are not going to get the same type of in-school internships(not summer).</p>
