[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Skipped the squabbling.
What does kid ultimately want to do with degrees?
If get a job, whatever.
If maybe get a DC think tank internship at Brookings or the like as a precursor to grad school for a PhD in a field of economics, economic history, etc, then Amherst all the way. Kid may be strong enough right out of undergrad but a paid year as research assistant and name on publication and another good letter is valuable. DH has nurtured a number of students that way. Most are faculty members themselves or working at the Fed, CBO etc.

If interested in the think tank or grad school life, just go to Pomona-It's a neighbor of CMC and ranks better than Amherst for grad school admissions for economics...or CMC which is also ranked better: https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-phd-programs[/quote]
This actually surprised me that CMC has the same number of people going to graduate school in economics as Amherst, while being a much smaller school. Maybe I've been discounting it a bit too much.[/quote]
