<p>Once you enroll at UVa, you won’t actually apply to McIntire until midway (app due in Jan or Feb I think) of seond year (you may be able to apply during your first year only if you complete all prerequisites), and then you “transfer” into McIntire from CAS at the beginning of your third-year
McIntire bases its acceptance almost entirely on GPA and college work. They’ll look at what classes you’ve taken, the strength of your schedules, how many credits you’ve taken each semester, and performance trends. They also look at ECs/work experience, but GPA/college performance is the biggest factor.
I assume by rank you mean your high school rank, which has no affect on admissions, as well as SAT. Your high school record gets you into UVA, you’re UVA work gets you into McIntire.
For stats, the mean GPA for the entering 2005 class was a 3.48, but the range was from a 2.8 to 4.0. So, there’s a wide berth of students accepted. </p>
<p>Chill90 - as long as you meet the pre-reqs, you can apply. The pre-commerce “major” within CAS will just help you reach those pre-reqs, but that won’t be your official major if you end up in McIntire. It’s probably there so that when it comes time to declare a major, you can without having to later change it (I assume pre-commerce will just become whatever you decalre within McIntire). Since you don’t have to declare until end of your second-year, it really doesn’t matter.</p>
