Northwestern PoliSci vs. UVa Commerce

Got into these 2 programs as 2nd yr transfer out of T50 public, cost is about the same for both, geography doesn't rlly matter, NW/T20 brand better and I'd prob have lesser comp but econ is very much grade deflated (B- average for all courses) so I'd have to do polisci or some liberal arts major for recruiting to get 3.7+. Is that worth over a solid UVa finance major? Appreciate any input.
