<p>hi</p>
<p>I'm probably going to be majoring in electrical engineering and maybe economics</p>
<p>If i want to go to the elite grad schools, what should i concentrate on doing in college.</p>
<p>Also which of these schools would give me the best opportunity to do so: Upenn, UT austin, Rice, Northwestern</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Why do you want to go to those places? What do you want to focus in? I think these are things you should think of for Grad school.</p>
<p>Either way, all of the schools you listed will give you a great opportunity, I would say go with the one that fits you the best as you’ll be more likely to excel.</p>
<p>If you want to go to those schools, you should quite simply concentrate on doing very very well.</p>
<p>Seriously though, you need to take this one step at a time. What do you want to do with your life? Pick the best school for that and then work your rear end off - great grades, research (early, long, and publishable), good relationships with professors, etc.</p>
<p>For economics I would pick either Northwestern or Penn, for engineering I would pick UT (also for double majoring). Personal experience here - at one point or another I considered those three schools. As CH121S noted, these are all good schools - there is no real bad choice.</p>
