Economics Schools?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>The old forum had a "What are my chances?" thread, but this one doesn't, so sorry if I misplaced this post.</p>

<p>I'm a junior in high school, my weighted GPA without freshman year is currently 4.12 (Probably remain stable until graduation)(w/ freshman it's 3.98)(without weigh, 3.78)(without weigh, with freshman 3.87). My SAT score is 2200 (720R/710M/770W)(Math is down from first try's 740).</p>

<p>I'm hoping to major in Economics as an undergraduate. What colleges do you think I stand a reasonable chance of getting into that have a strong Economics branch? I'm especially interested in any of the California public schools, since cost and location are factors in my choices of applying. =(</p>

<p>But post as if cost/location weren;t issues. If there are any colleges in the US that I can get into with a good reputation in Economics, please list them so I can at least consider applying to them. Thanks in advance. =)</p>
