UVA econ vs UMN econ Please help!!!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello, all, </p>

<p>I am applying to both UVA and UMN for econ. I am a transfer student, and am an instate resident in Virginia. UMN has a better overall econ program, however UVA is instate and will be cheaper in both short and long run. Would it be worth my while to transfer to UMN, factoring in loans (federal and private), for the better econ program. Or should I just stay in state and transfer to UVA? </p>

<p>Also, if you know how generous UMN is with scholorships/grants/ the like, please let me know! I have a 3.5 overall. Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>For UVA vs. UMinn, both are great schools, but UVA is arguably the better known/ranked overall. As far as an Econ major, IMO UG ranking is of relatively little importance as both will have large enough departments to meet your needs, and what you do will be more important than the ranking. </p>

<p>I would strongly consider staying at UVA as you may want to save your money for professional or grad school.</p>
