Students interested in transferring to McIntire are encouraged to complete two years, including the prerequisites, at their current school of enrollment. Applicants enrolled at schools other than the University must apply to the University of Virginia as a transfer student and should indicate their wish to apply to Commerce on their application. All prerequisites must be completed by the time the student would enter the School. Please note that the prerequisites need not be completed upon application to UVA. UVA's Office of Undergraduate Admission website has more information about this process.

The University is committed to admitting qualified students from the Virginia Community College System (VCCS); more than half of McIntire’s incoming transfer students are historically from the VCCS. Students currently enrolled in the VCCS who are interested in applying to McIntire should complete the suggested courses listed at Prerequisites-Equivalents at Virginia Community Colleges.

Admissions Statistics

Please review the Admissions Statistics, noting that the Committee reviews all applicants individually and takes into account the many facets of the application, listed below.

Important evaluative criteria considered by the Admissions Committee include cumulative grade point average, academic performance in prerequisites and those courses related to business (accounting, economics, mathematics), and degree of difficulty of courses taken to date as a demonstration of the student’s general ability and desire. In addition, skills and personal characteristics such as leadership, communication, work experience, and time management are considered, as demonstrated through co-curricular activities and application essays.
