<p>I have to choose between Brown, UChicago, and Amherst. Which school would give me the best chance to place well in IB and by what margin?</p>
<p>Career placement aside, I prefer Brown, then Chicago, then Amherst. I plan on majoring in Economics/Stat at Chicago, and Applied-math/Econ at Brown. </p>
<p>UChicago’s economics program is supposedly one of the best in the world (heavily theoretical, I’ve heard). So the recruiting there is very strong; however, Brown’s OCR is undoubtedly strong, as it is an Ivy League school. If you prefer Brown, you should go there. Your career prospects won’t be that different from UChicago or Brown.</p>
