Please Help Me Shorten College List

<p>^Area does not really matter to me if the school’s econ program reputation is good. I just want to get into the best school I can. I pick Lafayette because I saw that it had high ranking in the academic portion and I match the 50% for scores. </p>

<p>I think College of the Holy Cross is a safety. Will apply to 8-9 of those school. If all else fail community college or public schools.</p>

<p>I do not mind a high price for a college if I could find a respectable job out of college.</p>
