Hi, I’m going to be attending UVA this fall to study economics (and hopefully finance if I get admitted into McIntire after my sophomore year)! I’m very excited because from what I understand, McIntire is amazing, the campus is beautiful, the social and extracurricular scene is awesome… I’m so excited!

I actually sat in on a history lecture one time and loved the way the professor engaged the class.

However, I just wanted to get a better idea of the overall reputation of UVA as a whole. I know it’s usually a top-25 school, but are there any statistics that really point to its success areas outside of finance? How about its economics, pre-med, and engineering? Is UVA recognized to be as good as schools of similar rank? What would you say about its peer institutions and its prestige?
