<p>1) If I get accepted into uva I may major in economics, and if theyll let me - double major in econ/math. I was just wondering how good this econ program is...?</p>
<p>2) Also, it seems that a LOT of students major in this at uva. Would the extreme number of econ majors cause serious competeition for business jobs (ie - finance). I kinda regret not applying to c-school now, but its too late. Econonmics and math are enjoyable for me as well.</p>
<p>3) Ive read on UVA's website that they do not allow any extra semesters to finish up your degree. This is different than other schools I have applied to. Most schools put a limit of 5-6 years to complete a degree, where UVA doesnt want you to take more than 4 years to complete it. HAs anyone been confronted by this situation? I just want to know if theyll literally kick you out if you arent done in 4 years becuase I dont know if I will be.</p>
<p>I’ll let the students tell you what they think of the econ dept. It’s hard for me to say anything but good things about it.</p>
<p>FYI, you apply to the Comm school in your second year. No first-year applies directly to Comm, so it’s not too late!</p>
<p>Unless you make a drastic change in major late in your college career, you should graduate on time. You will be expected to remain fully enrolled during all semesters, so you shouldn’t need extra semesters unless you apply for a fifth year program or have a special case that warrants an exception to be made.</p>
<p>Oops! I assumed everyone knew I applied to UVA as a transfer student (incoming 3rd year). So that would make my situation a bit different than an incoming freshman. Sorry for the confusion, Dean J. But thanks for the help!</p>
<p>I’m sure the econ program is great - I just like reassurance I guess. As a transfer, can I still apply to C-school if I am accepted into the college of arts & sciences as a third-year? Does UVA allow 3rd year students to apply to C-school? I would be stoked if so! </p>
<p>The “4 semester rule” just seems to be all over the UVA website…I have written down potential semesters for my math/econ double major. It seems as tho I can do it within 4 semesters with hard work - I was just wondering. </p>
<p>I would really like to hear what you think about my “newly developed” situation, Dean J.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if transfer refers to transferring as a 2nd yr or 3rd; requirements may vary. I would send them an e-mail and ask for verification. But good luck!!</p>
<p>edit: this looks like the requirements to transfer as a 2nd year. Again, go to the source; e-mail McIntire and see what they say.</p>
