Is University of Virginia prestigious?
I am considering the McIntire School of Commerce for its BS program as a transfer from New York City.

Poets & Quants for Undergrads name McIntire #2 behind Wharton:*
"The graduates of many other business schools are doing just fine, too, thank you. Consider Virginia’s McIntire School of Commerce which moved into second place, ahead of last year’s number two school, Michigan Ross. One of the few remaining two-year programs, McIntire has placed either second or third for the past four years. McIntire was the only other winner of an individual category, taking first in academic experience, which is based solely on our student satisfaction survey of recent alumni. The school placed highly in our other two core metrics, earning third in admissions standards and sixth in employment outcomes. With an admit rate of just 13.4%, McIntire students overcame some of the toughest admissions standards in the world. Those entering the school last fall had an average SAT of 1,429. Of those seeking employment, 92.5% of the Class of 2020 secured full-time positions within three months of graduating. Those graduates reported record-setting average starting salaries of $81,930, second only to Wharton.
