[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD full ride, Vandy, USC, UCLA, Berkeley, UNC are a few of the options[/quote]

What's the financial aid situation with the remaining?

And why does your kid want to study Economics?

If it's to work at a Wall Street finance or consulting firm (think Goldman, McKinsey) right out of college, then Duke and perhaps Berkeley would give them a shot at that.

Getting such a gig from UMD is tough because those companies don't recruit at UMD.

If it's to follow-up with a graduate school in economics, Berkeley will have the most renowned professors and the best department, Duke will have smaller class sizes which may mean it's easier to obtain recommendation letters. UMD's economics department is about as good as Duke's, but with much larger class sizes.[/quote]

For UCB, you need to get into Hass School of Business.

You can get a liberal arts economics degree at Berkeley - do not need to be in business school.[/quote]

I didn't say you can't. 
However  UCB Haas >> UCB Econ same as UVA Mcintire >> UVA Econ

At Duke, Econ is it.

This might be easier;
UPENN Wharton >> UPENN Econ in Art and Science 
However at Harvard, Econ is it.
