UVA CAS Economics vs. Emory Goizueta BBA
Hello all,
I'm planning to apply for a sophomore freshman transfer to both schools, and I have a guaranteed in-state transfer to the BA Econ program at UVA but not McIntire. On the other hand, I could also go to Emory Goizueta, which is a full-fledged business school.
UVA would cost me just $40K a year whereas Emory is $90K, and idk if the $50K per year differential is worth it just for "business school" status. On the other hand, I'm also worried that as a UVA economics student, I will not have equal recruiting opportunities compared to McIntire.
What do y'all suggest I do? Is getting a BBA vs a BA really worth the ($200K)? This is a major dilemma for me and thanks!

I would choose UVA. Both schools are similar in recruiting (UVA with an edge), but the cost for Emory isn't worth it. I'm pretty sure the three-year program for McIntire just started this year, so I doubt banks would only recruit from McIntire. I believe you can still internally transfer to McIntire after your second year. Even if you can't, you can still take classes from McIntire (e.g., accounting and finance).
That's good, but I also heard that economics students at T25s with business schools (e.g USC NYU Mich) are usually fucked when it comes to recruiting cz all the banks inherently think BBA is harder to get into?
