<p>Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! :)</p>
<p>@annasdad: I know my school usually sends a couple to Beloit each year. I’m acquainted with one boy from my school that’s a freshman there, and he’s minoring in German (I think he’s majoring in international relations). From what he’s said about it, it sounds like a nice option for an econ/German combo.</p>
<p>@warblersrule: Thanks for the list! I’ve been considering some of the schools you suggested as well - like Tulane, for example. I didn’t know that Davidson was loan-free, but that’s a good sign! I looked at the lists you linked to, and I read that I have a good chance at a full ride from Fordham if I’m a National Merit Finalist (I got that letter saying I was in the top 50,000 and based on previous qualification scores from Illinois, it’s likely), and I think Fordham might be a good safety.</p>
<p>@goldenboy8784: I have a cousin at Duke right now (although she’s at law school), and she seems to like it a lot. I’m not sure how good my chances of getting in are, but it certainly seems like a nice place.</p>
<p>I read the list of rankings for economics and German departments, and one that was surprisingly high in both areas was Minnesota Twin Cities. That has a relatively low OOS tuition. Does anyone know anything about Minnesota?</p>
<p>@ucbalumnus: I know that math and statistics departments are at least larger/more extensive at the bigger universities. Would it help my chances at getting into a decent grad school if I go to a large university versus a liberal arts school (assuming the two are about equal in general prestige/selectivity)?</p>
