Hey guys, after all the chaos the past week or so I’m left with a number of rejections, waitlisted at UVA and acceptances from Miami, BC and W&M. I am a business major, likely in Finance, Marketing or Economics. I plan on remaining on the waitlist at UVA but cannot decide what my next best option is. I received a 29K/year presidential scholarship from Miami and love everything about the school (sports, weather, campus etc) but am worried that its academic reputation is below that of BC. At BC, I would likely be paying full price but I have been accepted into The Carroll School of Management Honors Program, a program that seems to have excellent opportunities and connections to employers post-graduation. At the moment, I view BC and Miami as better options than W&M. Is there anything I may not know about W&M that may influence my thoughts? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
