<p>Well, I have a list of 13 schools, but I have no idea how to cut it down. Location is not important to me and I am fortunate enough to have money not be a key decision maker. I want a large, top school, to major in business or economics most likely. I know there are a few schools without undergrad business, but like I said, I think I'd also enjoy economics. Please help me out, I'll provide more information if necessary. Thanks a lot.
(in no particular order)
1. UVA
2. UNC
3. UMich
4. Cornell
5. Duke
6. Vandy
7. Penn
8. Stanford
9. Emory
10. UCLA
11. USC
12. UTexas
13. Wisconsin</p>
<p>I'd drop UCLA since the OOS cost of attendance is $45k+ and for that kinda money, you'd recieve better value at USC-Marshall, IMO.</p>
<p>I'd drop UNC since its extremely difficult to be accepted OOS.</p>
<p>Stanford, Penn and Duke are all lottery picks, so you could drop one of those...</p>
<p>Yeah, but I don't want to drop a school that I could potentially love because its really hard to get in. I'm not expecting to get into Stanford, Penn, or Duke, but I feel like I can't just rule them out... I wish I could just apply ED somewhere lol but there is nowhere that stands out that much.</p>
<p>13 does not seem like a big number, especially when you have a few reaches. What are your stats?</p>
<p>If money isn't a factor, and you feel like you could be happy at all of those schools, go for it. It's just more essays and more money, basically.</p>
<p>Yeah, I probably will keep it at 13... but unfortunately, about half of them don't use the common app. And to answer the earlier question, my brief stats are:

M: 740
W: 730
