<p>Hi guys,
I got into UVA, Vandy and waiting on McDonough (probably won't get in) as a transfer student. I am having trouble deciding what my order of preference should be (money isn't really an issue as I am OOS)</p>
<p>I am a hopeful Economics or business student and UVA offers a solid business course I can apply to in sophomore year. However, the college is less well ranked than Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt seems to have a better social life (the reason I wanted to transfer in the first place was due to the poor social life at NYU).</p>
<p>So what do you think I should do. I want a university that has links to business' and also carries a name throughout the US and abroad.</p>
<p>Thanks for any replies and input you may be able to give me.</p>
<p>From and education and career standpoint there is not much difference between the 3. I think Vanderbilt and UVA offer more of the “whole college experience” with top education + social life + school spirit + top sport teams.<br>
Vanderbilt and Georgetown are expensive. Vanderbilt is spending a lot on improving it’s campus. UVA sticks it to the OOS students. OOS students improve its diversity, SAT/ACT scores and student profiles and are rewarded by having to pay 3.2 times the in state tuition. Since the state of VA only gives UVA like a nickel/VA student/yr they use the OOS students to pay the bills.<br>
You need to visit each school and spend as much time on campus as possible. Each school has a different vibe. Pick the school you will be most happy at. Happy students make good students.</p>
