I think you have a fighting chance at some of those schools, but for UNC-Chapel Hill (current transfer), you need to spend one semester in the College of Arts and Sciences and finish all of your prerequisites before you can be admitted to their school, which to be quite honest, IS HARD. They do not make the transition for transfers easy and I’m doubtful that I’ll be honest, a top business student at Miami (3.9 GPA) with honors and it’s been a rough semester at Carolina, hoping to crack a 3.0 GPA which I’m not even sure will be good enough to get me into the B-School. The Carolina way is just a lot different from many other colleges and people have a hard time adjusting right into it, but by second semester you have all the variables need to achieve in Carolina standards which is essentially a 3.3-3.5 GPA. So I’m not sure I’d recommend UNC if you would not want to change your major track. As for UVA McIntire,they take about 20 out-of-state applicants who are basically at the top schools at the top of your game, so it’s very hard to get into if you’re not a 4.0 applicant from UPenn, HYP. I know people with 4.0s who got denied from NYU Stern and Michigan Ross School of Business, just because McIntire is considered #1 for Undergrad now.

You say you want the university feel, but a smaller environment, so I’d suggest maybe some upper level privates such as Washington University and Emory. If you do not perform well in large lectures or interact well in large environments, I do not recommend a medium-large public like UNC.

Hope this helps, best of luck!
