McIntire (not Darden, those are MBA rankings) is generally ranked higher all around than CSOM for undergrad [USNews: #5 (UVa) vs #24 (BC), BW: #2 (UVa) vs #9 (BC)] and is a generally better recognized program.

However, Carroll is no slouch. The finance department is a top 15 program, and from what I’ve observed thus far as a new freshman, there is significant on-campus recruiting by investment banks and other prominent financial institutions (I have gotten emails for on-campus recruiting events for FO positions at DB, Barclays, Citi, Jefferies, and Fidelity to name a few).

Also keep in mind that CSOM is a four year program, whereas I believe McIntire is a no-guarantee 2 year track that requires you to undergo a competitive application process as a UVa sophomore.
