[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recommend also considering schools that have strong quantitative econ and the broader lens of public policy.  The skills needed to apply economics to public health are the same as those to apply to public policy and at an undergrad level, it probably won't make much of a difference. (But I'd check course options for these public policy programs).

Agree that UVA and UMD will fit the bill. Michigan and Wisconsin are also strong (stronger actually) in the large public realm. William and Mary also has a strong econ/public policy department.

I haven't looked - but I'd also bet that schools that have a hospital associated with it are decent choices to have some overlap in econ/public policy with health.....I'm thinking: Emory, Tufts, USC, Vanderbilt, Duke.  We know of a public health economist at Carnegie Melon (not sure in what capacity though) so that could be an option.    [/quote]

Aren’t those all reaches with that gpa and those scores though? Im not the OP but I am working with my jr on a list of schools, slightly higher GPA from a top public (will prob be about a 3.8 unweighted, 11 APs total) not an URM, no hooks, and I’m considering all those schools as reaches.

Midsize and not a reach is a bit of a unicorn. There are huge schools and tiny schools but not many midsize ones.[/quote]

Your kid is nothing like op’s kid

Yours isn’t URM!

And you didn’t mention your spawn’s test scores

Op’s kid has a 1480 As a urm….I would spray t20 and t10 lac’s…I will guaruntee that they would get Atleast 2/30 acceptances just by blindly doing that [/quote]

True - my kid isn’t an URM. Test scores should be similar (a jr so hasn’t taken official test but practices putting him around a similar score) I know URM helps but I would have thought you still need realistic backups. [/quote]

The only thing that trumps being an urm is having a jumper like steph curry or z-lister

Thr harvard trial showed that.

Op is setting her sights way too low for her kid.
