<p>I'm looking for schools with a strong economics or business program. i have a 1300 SAT and ranked 1 out of 1100 (shared with 8), good recs/essays, and have the highest GPA possible at my strong public school. I'm looking for matches, reaches, and safeties, some with alot of financial aid and scholarships available. i plan on applying to the following</p>

<p>Penn State Schreyer Honors
Wake Forest
University of Maryland
Villanova</p>

<p>It doesn't matter what type of school, big, liberal arts, but I'd like location to be around the northeast and upper south (farthest NC).
Any suggestions??</p>

<p>Take Maryland. In my opinion, it has the strongest business/ economics program of the bunch; however, all the schools have a different feel. You may want to check out each school's atmosphere. Personally, I did see Wake Forrest and didn't like it. It has a bad reputation for not being very open minded, especially regarding minorities. Villanova is a nice smaller school than Maryland but has some religous overtones and doesn't have the same amount of offereings as that of Maryland or Penn State.</p>

<p>Penn State is a good, fun school. However, it doesn't have the strong business repuation of that of Maryland. However, even with that, I think Penn State is a good school.</p>

<p>Penn is great too - Econ in the College of Arts & Sciences or Business in Wharton. Can't go wrong with that. </p>

<p>And it can't hurt to apply :)</p>
