Did you run the NPC prior to applying? Have you spoken to UVA and asked how they arrived at your approximately $41K family contribution? I don’t know the specifics of how UVA uses the income and assets reported on the CSS Profile, but it can’t hurt to understand the components of that calculation.

Regarding your career target of IB, PE, do you know as an econ major in UVA’s College (not McIntire) whether you can interview with Wall Street firms thru Commerce Career Services? It’s something to look into…there are separate career services for the College vs. McIntire, but I don’t know whether recruiting and interviewing are separate.

Regardless, $100K is too much undergrad debt, and your parents would be the ones signing on for most of that. What school would be debt free? And why would you need to delay getting a masters from there vs. UVA? If you let posters know what school you are talking about, they can probably be more helpful in their recommendations.
