After taking harsh courses in high school, after joining many people for extracurricular education and writing articles for joint application, students arrive at the university, and are desperate to get the fields of study, which they are interested in. But entering the university for some students is just the first obstacle, as they still have to compete in one of the dozen admission programs.
The Bachelor of Science in Commerce is a program that attracts many candidates every year at the Mac Entry School of Commerce. But the process of admission – which is extremely competitive, seeing that Mac Entry is one of the country Top undergraduate business Program – turns Hundreds Annual applicant. These students will have to immediately attract other educational projects.
Students of the second year applying for Mac Entry were notified of admission decisions on February 26. The second-year-old commerce student, Ala Riclif, who was recently accepted to the Mac Entry, expressed his gratitude to his place in the program-but regretted that other eligible colleagues did not receive the news they had expected.
“Hard part with [McIntire] Is everyone eligible, and with a 50 % acceptance rate, you can’t take all. “While I feel very lucky [getting accepted]I am also disappointed with her [one of my friends]No person I think is so fit for this program, did not enter it. “
Last year, had a Mac entry Entry rate About 50 %. 367 lucky students accessed a prestigious degree and a Mac Entry faculty and former students’ network. Meanwhile, the other 355 students were entering to find another way – preferably one who was associated with 10 Provisions They are already completed.
This is a common experience in competitive companies. Students who do not go into their first choice often feel that they have to resume academically, and they may be disappointed with the idea that what they did was wasted. Third -year -old Commerce student Neha Jagasia remembered the disappointment of her “pre -commerce” friends who were rejected by their first choice Major.
“They were very disappointed … and I would, too.” “If you went to a school for two years and you took numerous classes to try to go to the special major that you wanted to study, it is like your full degree, you can’t get any more.”
In response to concerns about this timeline, Mac Entry has changed its admission process, now students need to apply in their first year. This will give students more time to get their decisions and plan their next steps.
In particular, the number of terms has decreased significantly. Students are just just Is necessary To complete three courses before applying – work 1800, “Trade Foundations,” Econ 2010, “Micro Economics Principle” and college’s first written requirement. Undergraduate admission and recruitment director Pierce Cocker said why the school decided to make the switch.
“Now when students will know if they have enrolled in their U.VA Major. Experience, it gives them more time to axile if they get a disappointing answer that they have not entered. “[They will avoid] Panic to know [toward] The end of [their] The second year and saying, ‘Oh, Gosh, what am I going to do?’
However, this year, the challenges of the second year admission cycle are still pending, some students face especially difficult jactions after two years of preparation. However, Yusuf Moustifa, a fourth -year commerce student, said receiving admission decision for a major program should not be a clear moment of your college career. After moving to Mac Entry, Moustifa emphasized that success is not limited to a single educational path.
“I really believe with Enough enough drive … If you work hard and network, you can access those opportunities.” “Your Major does not actually explain you. If you are in big [economics]The same opportunities will be open to you.
Likewise, there are still many ways for students who are not included in their preferred Major, from election coursework to clubs to engage in their desired sector. For example, Mac Entry and Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy both offer minor programs, some of which do not require application. They provide students who do not have the opportunity to take their preferred large classes that are in accordance with their educational interests. Jagasia, a baton minor, said he had the opportunity to access public policy courses.
“[McIntire] They are minors, have minors in the baton. You are still able to access all such classes. “My Rome Matt is one [commerce] The minor takes many classes as I take, and we can even take some classes.
Although disappointing news about a Major may be difficult, Cocker emphasized how much less a difference between the great career scheme can make the decision.
“Denying the key you want, does not mean that the doors are closed for your post -graduate career,” said Cocker. “The price of any liberal arts degree here is going to be successfully arranged for your post -U.VA in the U.VA. Plans. Keep in mind, you will still be in good shape.
Riclif echoed the emotions, saying that the university provides many opportunities that are not associated with any particular major.
“U.va. “I always wanted I wanted first, and then Mac Entry came second.” We are all in the same school. We’re all going to spend more [of our] Outside of class. I think just keep your head up and know, no matter what, [you’re] In the U.VA – you are getting fine. “
