<p>NYU: I'm very interested in applying for the BPE program too, but right now I'm just planning to do my concentration in economics at Stern and major in philosophy in CAS. I would have 28 AP credits (I'll hit the 32 credit limit if I do well this year) so I don't think it would be too bad. CAS is my second choice.
Hopkins: Will be applying for the Wilson grant that's philosophy/economics based. Probably double major econ and philosophy.
Georgetown: Double major political science and econ, probably at CAS.</p>
