Applying to College
1

<p>Cornell
NYU CAS (not stern)
Upenn (not wharton)
Brown
Dartmouth</p>

<p>which of these schools would you attend for an economics major?</p>

2

<p>Cornell ..</p>

3

<p>ditto for Cornell</p>

4

<p>I disagree; I'd say Dartmouth.</p>

5

<p>princeton and harvard duhhhhh</p>

6

<p>I am leaning towards Cornell, but I have heard very good things about the NYU Econ department</p>

7

<p>if u can handle the workload, UChicago has an excellent economics program</p>

8

<p>i say Cornell in part due to the tremendous number of courses an econ major can take...</p>

<p>There's the classic "economics" major in the college of Arts and Sciences. For undergraduates, there's about 75-80 classes to choose from. </p>

<p>There's also the "applied economics and management" major in the college of agricultural and life sciences. This is the only other accredited ivy-league business program besides Wharton. There's hundreds of classes in this program to choose from, and many do deal with the principles of economics.</p>

<p>there's also a department of labor economics in the school of industrial and labor relations. here, there's about 25-30 more courses offered that focus on economics. </p>

<p>Not to mention that there's probably (to lazy to look) some econ classes offered by the school of hotel management.</p>

9

<p>I'd just choose which school appeals to you most overall. Where would you make the most of the opportunities? They're all good.</p>

<p>Of those schools, Penn's econ department has the best rep.</p>

<p>But if you're considering schools as selective as Brown, Dartmouth and Penn, you should also consider applying to Chicago, Northwestern, Williams, etc...</p>
