I definitely don’t recommend letting prestige be your determining factor, as that would be dumb and the universities are pretty different if you’d do some research. Barnard is an all-girl school, btw.
But if I was to list in MY opinion: Columbia, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Brown, Barnard, NYU, Tufts, Boston, Colgate
In terms of prestige in their Econ programs, the standouts are GT, Dartmouth, Columbia, and Brown; the other ones kinda clump together into what I think is second place.
Again. I don’t think the first list matters at all. The major-specific one matters, but not as much as you may think
