W&M B-school vs UVA Econ
Hey guys, I just graduated from HS and committed to William and Mary for the fall. But I just got an opportunity to go to a satellite campus of UVA for a year and then become a guaranteed transfer to the main campus as a sophomore. My goal is to end up somewhere in IB or buyside but that’s subject to change.
I’m definitely going to be focused on getting into Mcintire if I were to go to UVA but I’d be a fool if I didn’t consider the fact that I might not get in since it’s been getting more and more competitive. So in that case would being in the business school at W&M be more of an advantage than being an Econ major at UVA in terms of job opportunities?
Better to do all four years in the same place. I’m from NoVa so plenty of classmates went to both schools. With appropriate effort you should be able to break in from W&M.
People really underestimate the value of a four-year peer network and the detriment of joining late. Try to get involved on campus next fall and you’ll do fine.
Appreciate the answer. I’m probably going to end up going to W&M because the business school seems pretty solid and Mcintire is a big dice roll especially considering that I’ll be a transfer.
You would be fine either way, but if you were set on UVA, I'd say one year at William & Mary then transferring to UVA gives you much more optionality and looks better on a resume than going from what I'm assuming is UVA-Wise to UVA. Transferring from W&M to UVA is ridiculously easy and have had many friends do it.
Yeah I heard that it’s pretty easy to transfer to
UVA from William and Mary. Looking online though I saw that there’s a lot of credit requirements that UVA requires(ex. non-western classes, languages, math) in order to be allowed to transfer. I don’t know if they’re mandatory if I would plan to transfer freshmen year summer.
The non-western class is equivalent to a COLL 100, both wm and UVA have a language requirement, and wm b-school and UVA McIntire have the same exact prerequisites for entry
