<p>I'm looking for public schools that have a good economics and/or business program and have an EA program. I know the two programs are different, but I'm still undecided as to which one I want to study. </p>
<p>My stats:
-GPA: 4.1/4.3 UW
-SAT: 2370, 800 M, 800 W, 770 CR
-SAT IIs: 800 Math 2, 770 US History
-APs: Calc BC- 5, APUSH -4, AP Micro- 5, AP Macro- 5
-Senior Year Schedule: AP Physics C, AP English, AP Stats, AP Euro, Advanced Spanish, and doing an Independent Study
-Main ECs: mock trial since sophomore year, debate team since junior year, Spanish honor society since sophomore year, write for school newspaper and an online music site since junior year, I've held various leadership positions in these clubs and student council, volunteer at school events and with disabled children
-probably good essays and excellent letters of recommendation
-Asian, from a private school in NY, no legacy anywhere
-National Merit Semifinalist</p>
<p>The big things I'm looking for in a school:
-strong economics or business program
-intellectually challenging
-lots of of extracurricular opportunities
-has the name brand and good career services to get me good job opportunities (I'm considering working on Wall Street)
-medium-sized in, or very near, big cities (preferably on the east or west coast)
Also somewhat important but not as much: no overwhelming Greek presence</p>
<p>It would be nice if some public schools would give me merit aid for my academic performance and my NMSF status, since I likely won't get much aid as an OOS student. However, I'm not necessarily looking for financial safeties here, I'm more looking for schools I can apply to early for peace of mind (since I'm applying SCEA somewhere).</p>
