<p>I was sure I mentioned Emory in my other post…Guess not. Emory is nice for a Southern school, within your size range, and more liberal than most schools around here, IMO. Atlanta’s a pretty cool city too. They always have awesome concerts there, compared to Columbia, SC, where I live, so I’m always jealous, haha. Their acceptance rate is right about the same as Rice’s. One thing about them that I think is better than Rice is that Emory has many more OOS kids–Rice is like half Texans. You could also try Washington University in St. Louis. I don’t know much about them though. Don’t know how either of them are for econ/business either.</p>
