<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I plan to do a double major in Political Science/Government and Economics. After doing my undergrad, I plan on getting a JD/MBA. Can some one please give me a list of like the top 10 undergrad colleges for the majors I'm applying for. </p>
<p>Help would be greatly appreciated:)</p>
<p>PROBABLY something like this: (for a combo of both political science and economics equally)</p>
<p>Yale
Harvard
Princeton
Columbia
Chicago
Cornell
Stanford
Dartmouth
University of Pennsylvania
Georgetown</p>
<p>i maybe put chicago too high because i am slightly biased, but see what everyone else thinks</p>
<p>Hey, this is what I'm looking for too :D hopefully someone can give us some pointers...</p>
<p>Hmmmm think Cornell is in the top 10 for these?</p>
<p>Also consider American University and George Washington University.</p>
<p>Wwoody... yes, obviously i do. i am guessing you disagree?</p>
<p>Berkeley....</p>
<p>easily, jsut look to shcools iwth the highest percentage of people getting into top grad schools from teh WSJ, i think its something like</p>
<p>harvard
yale
princeton
stanford
williams
duke
amherst
mit</p>
<p>I would think University of Michigan should be on these lists.</p>
<p>The best LAC for government and economics is Claremont McKenna College. In fact, those are actually its 2 best departments. Look into CMC if your interested in going to a LAC.</p>
<p>Hi guys, i would like to thank everyone for all the feedback, the colleges i wanna apply to are:</p>
<p>In order of preference:</p>
<ol>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>UPenn</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>U of Chicago</li>
<li>BU</li>
<li>NYU</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
</ol>
<p>I would highly appreciate if u guys would suggest any changes in the list, especially to the last three, thanks:)</p>
<p>Harvard for the win.</p>
<p>Bowdoin College has one of the best schools for Government majors in the nation. I don't think may LAC's can top Bowdoin in this category. Honestly, I would put Bowdoin, Amherst, and Claremont in the top ten along with Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.</p>
<p>Amherst College
Bowdoin College
Brown University
Claremont McKenna College
Columbia University
Cornell University
Dartmouth College
Georgetown University
Harvard University
Macalester College
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
New York University
Northwestern University
Princeton University
Stanford University
University of California-Berkeley
University of California-Los Angeles
University of Chicago
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
University of Pennsylvania
University of Rochester
University of Virginia
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Wesleyan University
Yale University</p>
<p>Everyone, thanks for the great response:)</p>
<p>Boston_08, thnks for the suggestions:P, I really like Bowdoin, Amherst, and Claremont but the problem is that all of them just offer a bachelors degree and I don't wanna do my JD/MBA from a different school, thts why I have not added those three to my list.</p>
<p>However, i am still thinking of applying to Michigan Ann Arbor and UVA instead of NYU and Northwestern.</p>
<p>Wwody 123, where do u plan to apply?</p>
<p>Osap,</p>
<p>Don't be so quick to rule out Bowdoin, Amherst, and Claremont. Yes, they only offer BA degrees and you will have to get your JD/MBA somewhere else. But they are superb schools nonetheless. Remember, even if you go to a university that offers undergraduate and graduate degrees, you may not get into the grad program there. Then you'll have to go to another school as well.</p>
<p>In terms of quality+time investment, Northwestern probably has the best joint JD/MBA program (3 years). ;)</p>
<p>Sam Lee, for MBA/JD, I would definitely agree that Northwestern would be a top choice. However, how do they manage to cram both into a three year program? Do the students actually have a life? I thought doing it in 4 years would be crazy, but three years sounds impossible.</p>
<p>UChicago is great for both MBA and JD.</p>
