<p>I’m definitely still considering them, but I wanted to keep only one of Maryland, Minnesota or Wisconsin so that I could shorten the list. While all three appear to have good quantitative Economics, the large-state-school-type social scenes, and not the best Honors program (and appear almost similar to me in many ways!), I do have relatives in the Madison area - not very close to them since we’re at opposite sides of the world, but they’re still family that could help. </p>
<p>Berkeley and Michigan were also on a list that became 20 schools long, but I cut them because their selectivity appears similar to Barnard, Wellesley, etc., and I would prefer the LACs to the large state schools. </p>
<p>I have not ruled out the state schools though - do you think I should keep them in? </p>
<p>Meanwhile, I will take a look at the links and suggestions given :)</p>
