I have been accepted to Vandy and UVA (non-McIntyre) and I am waiting to hear back from Gtown, as a junior transfer. I would like to know which school is the best for recruiting and prestige, and what school will be the easiest to maintain a high GPA (I'm at about 3.4 and I would like to graduate with a 3.5+).

There's definitely a few threads on Vandy v. UVA. I think UVA has an edge over Vandy for recruiting.. Both schools are pretty similar in terms of demographic and social scenes. Why are you transferring in your junior year?
I am transfering into UVA myself this fall. From what I hear, if you are not in Mcintire, Vandy might have a slight advantage. Gtown MSB would be your best bet if you get in. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
