UCLA, Swarthmore, or CMC for undergrad econ

<p>Hi all, I've recently been admitted into these three great schools, and I'm interested in knowing which school has the best undergraduate econ program. I'm hoping to pursue an MBA after graduation, possibly at a top business school like HBS or Wharton. Also, would going to a smaller school help me stand out? Thanks</p>

<p>I'd go to UCLA for the price.</p>

<p>actually, while i live less than 10 miles away from ucla, it'd be cheaper for me to go to either CMC or Swarthmore and live in their dorms, than it would be to live at home and go to ucla (which is what I’d be doing if I went to ucla).</p>

<p>So is CMC's economics dept. as strong as they make it out to be (#1 for lacs according to their magazine)? What about Swarthmore's?</p>
