UVa or Queens Commerce

Hey there,

I am currently deciding between UVa McIntire and Queen's Commerce, for undergrad. I know both are great schools, but my only concern with UVa is the fact that I'm not guaranteed into the business school like I would be with QC. Is McIntire worth the risk of not getting in? Could you please give me your opinion toward which school I should attend next year?

Thank you so much!

I'm Canadian and I'll still say (emphatically) that UVA is a much better option. Not a matter of whether it actually is a better school, the point is that UVA is going to give you significantly broader recruiting opportunities. If you have the marks to get into a finance career, you'll get into McIntire. If you can't do that, you wouldn't get into banking/s&t/consulting from Queens either. Congrats and good luck,
