Boston College vs UVA

<p>I am currently a freshman at Boston College’s Carroll School of Management, and I am looking to transfer to UVA and hopefully Mcintire, not because of academics, but because of fit. I will admit that UVA and Mcintire, today, are more prestigious than Boston College, but don’t be surprised if with the developments of the Institutional Master Plan, BC becomes more prestigious in the future. I’m a Finance and Operations major at BC and will tell you that in terms of hiring Mcintire and CSOM are both second tier schools behind ivies, Stanford, MIT, etc. and so one school won’t get you a job over the other. Also if two applicants from UVA and BC were applying for one job, the name on the diploma won’t get one a job over the other, but rather the better candidate.</p>

<p>I know that if I do end up transferring to UVA I won’t necessarily get into Mcintire so I would say that in terms of Job placement it is Mcintire>CSOM> UVA A&S.</p>

<p>Also Econ is the most popular major at BC followed closely by Finance.</p>
