<p>Choice of Schools:</p>

<li>UVa: Join College of Arts & Sciences > Transfer to McIntire in the 3rd.year.</li>
<li>IUB: Kelley School of Business - Direct Admit</li>
<li>McGill: B.Com</li>
</ol>

<p>First Preference - Uva. The College atmosphere,campus life, recruitment are fine. Cost is about 40k more for 4 year period. Also, there is a small element of fear, what if McIntire doesn’t happen? </p>

<p>Second Preference - McGill. Well known in the USA. Internship/Job Prospect for ‘Non -French Speaking’ student, in Montreal is a matter of concern. Grading is very tough. Will that matter in getting admission to Grad Schools in the USA? Severe winter is also a concern.</p>

<p>Third Preference - IUB Direct Admit. Very large university. The campus is attractive. Not many top companies recruit from the campus. For Grad School (esp.Law) the so-called ‘Brand Name’, could be a drag!</p>

<p>indiana's campus is nothing compared to uva's campus.</p>

<p>your best bet will be to go to uva. even if you don't get into the business school, you'll be fine. just maintain a high gpa, get involved, get a good internship and you'll be set.</p>

<p>I agree. UVA</p>

4

<p>Thank you very much. I am 90% sure about UVa :-)</p>

5

<p>And another...UVa hands down.</p>

6

<p>yeah, definitely UVA!</p>

7

<p>go to Case Western Reserve University...</p>

<p>May I request to elaborate on the reasons for suggesting UVa, over say McGill, which appears to have a wider global acceptance, and is pretty economical! </p>

<p>The UVa campus, appears to be small and compact. When one says the 'campus is beautiful' what doeas it convey to somebody who has seen other campuses, but not Uva, and interestingly, deciding in favor of UVa?</p>

<p>Thanks for all the replies.</p>

<p>If you are trying to get a job in the US or go to a US grad school, UVA will set you up much better. Even if you don't get in to McIntire, majoring in econ at UVA is a better choice than the other two.</p>

<p>Kelley is a very highly regarded business school...If you do well you can be recruited by essentially anyone. I think you're giving it the short end.</p>

11

<p>I'm not saying Kelley isn't awesome. It is a quality business school. The main problem with it is the lack of selectivity, which isn't as much of a concern at UVA.</p>

12

<p>Kelley waitlisted me. They are selective. Just not at much as McIntire, Ross, Haas, etc.</p>

13

<p>Kelley automatically accepts students if they have at least a 3.5 and a 1270. I don't consider that selective.</p>

14

<p>people seem to love and boast about kelley so much on these forums o_O
it's the first time i've ever experienced anything like this.. hehe.</p>

<p>Well I didnt have that and I wasnt accepted despite that. You've made up your mind already. With a 'tude like that, Kelley doesnt need you.</p>

16

<p>It's not attitude, I was just stating a fact. On their website they say that is the requirement for automatic admission. Sorry if you disagree with my definition of selective.</p>

17

<p>Considering the national average for SAT scores, it IS selective. Kelley is certainly a selective school. Is it Wharton or Ross? No. I dont understand why you bothered applying since you obviously know the 'incredibly low standards' it takes to gain admission....</p>

18

<p>Once again: sorry if you disagree with my definition of selective. I understand that I have unusually high requirements for that label. Also, I never said that I applied.</p>

19

<p>ummm ok? How do you know where you'll be accepted/what school, etc?</p>

<p>....I'm not in high school.</p>
