Admission & Application Survey |
| Full-time BS program |
There are two admissions processes to get into the McIntire School of
Commerce at the University of Virginia (UVA). The majority of Commerce
students are UVA students who applied and were accepted to UVA, spent 2
years meeting pre-Commerce requirements and then applied and were
accepted into McIntire. Some students meet their pre-Commerce
requirements at other universities and transfer into McIntire. Both the
application for UVA and the application for McIntire were highly
selective and highly competitive. UVA takes 60% of its students from
Virginia and 40% of its students from the rest of the country. There is
a difference in tuition rates as well as standards for acceptance for
out-of-state and in-state students. Nevertheless, in the McIntire
school, all students are highly qualified and highly intelligent. My
advice on getting into McIntire would be to NOT attend UVA for your first
two years because it may be easier to achieve a higher GPA and have a
better application from another university. On another note, many of the
programs at UVA are highly structured and it is difficult, therefore, to
take courses in the Engineering, Architecture, Teaching, Nursing and
Commerce schools if you are not a student within that school; on the
other hand, all of these students are freely able to take courses in the
College of Arts & Sciences, mostly without problem.
