There are other good lists out there but they http://www.phds.org/rankings/economics/... If your planning on getting a Ph.D. in Economics you will need to have a STRONG background in math. What is the highest math you took? Most respectable Ph.D. programs in econ will require you to have at least advanced calc, linear algebra, and some math structures (proofs or whatnot). Some programs also like courses in stats. If you don't have these math classes I doubt you will be able to get into any program without deficiencies, if your accepted at all.

Hello! There is a long list of State universities but to some extent you must have the right information while enrolling themselves in those universities. The state universities can be widely diversified based upon SAT or ACT scores. The top fine universities based upon SAT scores that are ruling over the other reputed Universities are Harvard University, California Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, and Paul Quinn College. Whereas the top five Universities based on ACT marks are Pomona College, Yale University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Dartmouth College. I hope my answer might be of some use to you! All the best!

There's plenty of them. If I were you, I would check out the following: University of California at Berkeley University of California at Santa Cruz California Institute of Technology Massachusetts Institute of Technology University of Michigan at Ann Arbor Princeton University Stanford University Texas Tech University Yale University That's a list of those that I know to be good for engineering and technology, plus a few that are just so good generally they are bound to be worthwhile. Good luck!

I wouldn't trust Bill too much (no offense Bill). But I am kind of a college junkie and I can give you a rough estimate of what MIT wants. Your freshman year is not vital to the admissions process. I am not telling you to blow it off, because that will kill your Cumulative GPA. But don't worry over one B, just make SURE that you don't get another B, and stay solid with all A's for the rest of your high school career. I am saying that you should not aim for anything less than a 3.9 after your Junior year is complete. But getting all A's should not be an easy task, you need to take nearly all the Honor's and AP (try mostly math/science ones) courses your school has to offer. Go to your counselor and see if you can pack in at least 5 total AP and honor's courses every year from this point on. This is VERY IMPORTANT! During your sophomore year, you will need to start thinking about the SAT. This a college admissions test that measures your math, critical thinking, and literary skills. You will need to score around a 2250+ out of 2400 to be competitive. MIT likes well-rounded students, so you need to join clubs, sports, and organizations. If you are athletic, try to go for a Varsity sport next year and stick with it for the next 3 years. Definitely join something like Robotics, Science Olympiad, or both! That really tells MIT how dedicated you are to the sciences. Plus, you need to learn a good talent. For example, maybe you can be someone who has been in a 3 year engineering internship, or something extraordinary. So, good grades in hard classes, SAT score, and a couple things that will separate you from any other applicant. Here is a good idea of the applicant pool. Let me warn you, MIT is rough, and many of these applicants may shock you: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/879436-official-2014-mit-rd-decisions.html
