<p>If UNC accepted more out of state students, they would be flooded with out of state applicants. They don’t get more, because people are told it is so difficult to get in.</p>
<p>Duke would certainly offer smaller class sizes, particularly in the first 2 years. That is a major plus. Under pressure from the Governor and Legislature, UVa has agreed to increase undergrad enrollment in phases over the next several years. That will add to class sizes and crowding, etc., particularly because Va. keeps decreasing their funding to UVa every year. Something like only 5% of UVa’s budget now comes from the State, but it was an important component that is now shrunken.</p>
<p>If you are paying close to the same net price for UVa vs. Duke, I would choose Duke. </p>
<p>There is no guarantee of getting admitted into UVa’s McIntire business school. You are accepted at the end of second year. They are in a great new/expanded/renovated business complex.</p>
