It is ranked higher by USNWR.
They aren’t ranked in the same category. Outside of the T3 or so LACs, none can compete reputation wise with the National universities in the T30.

GEORGETOWN. ignore the DC bubble that craps on it, Georgetown is the best on the list
In what way? Pomona is ranked higher than Georgetown
Not on the minds of most East Coasters. I’ve met just one Pomona alum in my entire life, they must mostly stay on the west coast.

Politics, Econ. Maybe middle eastern studies, but possibly policy or journalism or higher ed so can’t look took narrowly.
Georgetown will be full fare even when my second kid starts in two years, which seems crazy even if it’s possibly the best academically. ND would come down. The others are manageable from the jump
Some undergrad degree programs can be completed in just 3 years at LSE. Does LSE offer both a BA and a BS program for economics ? Important for those with budgetary constraints intent on earning a graduate degree.
Without more information, LSE, Notre Dame, and Davidson should receive strong consideration.
Rating your option:
1) LSE
2) Notre Dame
3) Davidson
4) Georgetown SFS
5) lowest cost-of-attendance school.
Truthfully, I cannot imagine one turning down LSE, Notre Dame, Davidson, or Georgetown SFS in favor of SUNY-Bing, Denison, or Wisconsin based on the information (majors & cost) shared by the OP.
Davidson is the best school on the list, rankings wise. So I'd go w/ that. I'd remove Georgetown from the list because it's too $$$ when you have other options that are just as good/better and cheaper. I'd remove Denison, Bing, and WI from the list since you have better options.
My list would be:
1) Davidson
2) notre dame
3) LSE

DD is seeking social environment/sports, but not at all focused on Greek scene. Major undecided but likely something in liberal arts/humanities.
ND #1
WM #2
eliminate the rest
Curious why you say this? Vanderbilt is the highest ranked out of all of these schools.

Is cost an issue? If so, UMD or maybe UF. If not, vandy or unc.
Vandy if you can afford it. UMD if not

I think the ideal choice here would be Notre Dame followed by an MA at LSE.
LSE will have the best politics/econ/ME studies program. But he'd be missing out on the American college experience if that's important. And the networking that goes with it - it's hard to beat the Notre Dame network. And it's a solid place to go to school.
I don't think Georgetown is worth financial stress. Their financial aid is abysmal. And it won't open more doors than Notre Dame does.
Would ignore the other schools mentioned.

Vanderbilt. UNC--CH has mostly in-state students: they are not on par with the typical Vanderbilt or UNC OOS peer.
