Completely and totally wrong. The word false isn't strong enough. We need to nvent a word for something that's pants shittingly wrong.

did happy graduate from uva?

not contesting the statement, just wondering..

I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.

i think "pants shittingly wrong" does it justice

also, agree with you 1000%

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

UVA has better placement in banking for sure, but perhaps not as much for S&T.

UVa. Pretty easy decision. Even if he doesn't make it into bschool, the benefits will still be huge:

-Great name -Top MBA program, alumni all over the street and in F500 -Awesome location, Cville rocks and better than Philly IMO- I've never been to Boston -As @"DCDepository" mentioned, the spillover effect from the bschool will only help when recruiting starts -Econ, especially during the first 2 years, trumps any business major IMO. It will give him a great foundation upon which he can go on to specialize later (shameless plug- I'm an Econ major)

At this point, it really comes down to money. If that's not a factor, the decision is pretty clear to me.

 

I'm currently a senior in high school and oddly enough I have the exact same decision to make: BC's Carroll school or UVa. Obviously I'm hoping to be accepted to Mcintire, but there's really no way of knowing. I see this post was from a few years ago, so I was wondering what decision your son ended up making and if he's happy with it or if he wishes he went a different route? Thanks.

 

Definitely not an authority here but it seems to me that both are great business schools in the same tier but UVA ranks slightly higher; UVA also has a larger business school than BC. All in all I dont think you would kick yourself for choosing BC over UVA especially for NYC and the northeast.

please do not listen to this, they are not on the same level. UVA is basically a target and BC is basically a non-target for banking, if you want to go into high finance you WILL kick yourself for choosing BC over UVA. Do not choose BC over UVA unless there are extenuating circumstances forcing you to do so.

 

haven't deadlines for decisions passed by now? anyway, i'm sure people will disagree on this, but i think BC is the slightly better choice

you could make it into UVA McIntire, but you also might not, which would really nerf your chances in this case, my opinion is that you take the bird in hand over the bird in the bush: BC
