<p>You might look at Claremont-McKenna.</p>
<p>Thanks, but would prefer not to live in SoCal. Any other options? How is UNC for Econ?</p>
<p>UNC has a very solid econ program. Have you considered Chicago, Michigan, Northwestern, Rochester, Wisconsin, or WUStL? JHU might also fit the bill, but I'm not sure how transfer-friendly they are.</p>
<p>^ Agreed. All have pretty good econ programs ('course, the top schools tend to).</p>
<p>I'm going to apply to:</p>
<p>Chicago
Umich
Wisconsin
UVA
William and Mary</p>
<p>you could try georgetown's international economics program.</p>
