<p>Colgate, Hamilton College, Bucknell University, George Washington University, RPI, Northeastern, Georgetown</p>
<p>I got accepted to these schools. First rank them in general, than rank them by greatness of economics department if you're able to. Here is how I ranked them, but this is a total guess, and I know basically nothing. I am really desperate, and really, really, really need A LOT of help in narrowing down the list, and eventually choosing one school.</p>
<p>General
1. Georgetown
2. Hamilton College
3. Colgate
4. George Washington
5. Bucknell
6. RPI
7. Northeastern</p>
<p>Greatness of Economics Department
1. Bucknell
2. George Washington
3. Georgetown
4. Hamilton
5. RPI
6. Colgate
7. Northeastern</p>
<p>I'm already bumping it because it is already on the second page...I need more than just one reply, please help me narrow the list down to at least 2-3 schools. Ask me any questions you want.</p>
<p>im not going to rank them for you because they are so different- the small, isolated colgate and hamilton with the huge, urban GW? tech focused RPI thrown in there? you need to take a step back and decide what else you want besides a good econ department (because they all will be solid in that respect).</p>
<p>^Okay, I want a school with a good economics department, nice and comfy housing, a generally liberal student body that is not very snobby, great job placement if I work hard, and nice name recognition and/or prestige amongst economic employers like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, etc.</p>
<p>If you want to narrow your list: Georgetwon (far and away #1), then - in no paticular order: Bucknell, Colgate and Hamilton (if you can take the cold at these two), and Bucknell. GW would be Ok if being in a big and nice city is important for you - but not otherwise, for me at least.
I know nothing nof econ. - but looking for great other schools in somewhat same range? Colby/Bowdoin/Bates; UVA; Miami of Ohio (easier to get into).</p>
