Excellent post. It’s just discouraging how many people go to UVA and want to study business and don’t realize how difficult an admit it is. My brother-in-law didn’t get in to McIntire as an undergrad and was an Econ major. Worked for a couple of years and then went to a top tier business school for an MBA. He is a very successful investment banker so even if that’s the track you want to take there are ways to that job and most high-level investment bakers have MBA’s anyway. However, kids do need to know that they need to have a Plan B at UVA if they plan on studying business just in case they aren’t one of the lucky ones.
