I got accepted to McIntire and will be starting this fall after completing 2 years from a CC out of state. I am an accounting major so I don’t know if it helped my application, because 70% of students are Finance majors. lol Might change majors after 1 semester. Money is an issue and my family don’t make much and the tuition did increase this year making it around 65k-67k. That being said UVA did give me a generous aid package. I still have to take out loans but I missed out on scholarship opportunities because I didn’t think I would get in. Really regretting it right now.
I also believe the McIntire has money to give but I think that is only for returning students. which sucks. Apply to all the schools even NYU and also apply to safeties. Make a decision after not before.
